At Bike Island, We love bikes and the fun times that go along with cycling! Bike Island buys lots of bikes from several suppliers and offers a wide range of mountain bikes, road bikes, hybrids, fat bikes, cruisers and even E-Bikes. But here’s the deal, ALL OF OUR BIKES HAVE ISSUES. We buy returns from Bikes Direct, the largest online bicycle retailer and most of what we buy are old stock, damaged in shipping, bikes where the size was wrong or the color was just not right. They are still great bikes, but need a loving home. Most have cosmetic issues like scratches and scuffs while others may need some TLC to get back on the road. As an added bonus…. ALL the bikes we sell still come with the factory warranty against defects!

We suggest you take it to your local bike shop for final assembly & safety checks. Here are some frequently asked questions: Am I going to get the exact bike pictured above? No, not at all. The bike pictured above is perfect and much more expensive. The one you get will look like the bike pictured except it will have the issues mentioned in the description. If you can live with those issues, break out the touch up paint and get ready to build your bike when it arrives! Why can’t you send photos of the issues so I can tell if they are acceptable? Well, it’s just a matter of time and manpower. We do not have the manpower to pull it out of a box, take off the packaging, assemble the bike, photograph it, disassemble, repack and re-box. We’d rather describe the issues, discount the bike dramatically like we’ve done, and then have you be happily surprised when you get it….especially for the price you paid. What’s the difference between a scratch and a scuff? A scratch you can feel with your fingernail. It’s Very visible and probably goes all the way down to the frame material. Scuffs are visible but just on the surface. You might be able to buff out a scuff. Are any of these issues going to affect the integrity of the frame? Absolutely not! We do not sell frames that might be at risk for breakage. In fact, all of our bikes come with the factory warranty against defects! I like the bike you offer but it’s not my size, do you have others?? We may but each of our bike is an individual with its own unique set of issues. Bike Island has thousands of bikes with issues at great prices.
