Our online shop went live soon after, in 1998, and the first orders were dispatched from the founders’ small student apartment. Since then, we have grown steadily together with our customer base and employ over 140 people. Our 10,000 m²warehouse, proudly supplies over 300,000 bicycle enthusiasts with bikes, parts and accessories from a range of over 45,000 products by more than 250 brands. bike-components also operates a store in downtown Aachen. Here we offer a range of pre-configured bikes and a selection of parts, accessories and bicycle clothing.
