The Pro\u2019s Closet is an online retailer that offers a constantly changing selection of Certified Pre-Owned and new bikes, wheels and parts.<\/p>\n

All second-hand products sold by The Pro\u2019s Closet<\/a> are inspected meticulously \u2013 and, if required, repaired \u2013 prior to sale, giving you the same confidence you have when buying new, and at a lower price.<\/p>\n

Alongside the used bikes and equipment, there\u2019s also a range of new cycling kit, components and accessories on offer.<\/p>\n

Based in Colorado, The Pro\u2019s Closet ships across the United States of America and Canada.<\/p>\n

Every bike is checked by TPC\u2019s team of in-house mechanics.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n

Each bike undergoes a 141-point inspection by The Pro\u2019s Closet\u2019s team of mechanics.<\/p>\n

In fact, no fewer than eight mechanics work on each bike through the different phases of inspection and tuning.<\/p>\n

From a deep clean to servicing the drivetrain, brakes and wheels \u2013 including any necessary part replacements or repairs \u2013 The Pro\u2019s Closet estimates the average value of this service at over $200.<\/p>\n

Each bike listed on The Pro\u2019s Closet site includes photos outlining any repairs and imperfections, offering complete clarity when you\u2019re considering the bike.<\/p>\n

The Pro\u2019s Closet even has an indoor track on its warehouse floor, where bikes are test-ridden to ensure they\u2019re ready to ride when they arrive at your door.<\/p>\n

Each bike sold under the Certified Pre-Owned programme comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.<\/p>\n

If your bike doesn\u2019t meet your expectations or the fit isn\u2019t right, you can return it and get your money back.<\/p>\n

Certified Pre-Owned bikes also come with a guaranteed buy-back offer for 18 months.<\/p>\n

If you fancy trying something new, or like to upgrade regularly, you can do so with less cash coming out of your pocket.<\/p>\n

All bikes from The Pro\u2019s Closet, whether new or part of its Certified Pre-Owned scheme, are shipped almost fully assembled. That means there\u2019s very little standing in the way of your first ride on new bike day.<\/p>\n

In addition to the bike itself, The Pro\u2019s Closet supplies a torque tool, tutorial and guide to help you get started.<\/p>\n
