Friendly expert service, new and second-hand bikes, and all sorts of gear. Serving the Inner-West since 2008.
Mark’s been playing with bikes since he was four and working on them for the past 25 years. At Vanilla Cycles, that lifelong enthusiasm comes with a straightforward approach: listen, explain the options and give each bike the care it deserves. From your everyday ride to something a little special, you’re welcome here.

I would trust no other mechanic with my bike than Mark at Vanilla. Give him a go. I'm sure he will not disappoint. It isn't a typical Bike shop where you need to be part of a certain 'crew' or type of rider or have a certain bike and ride certain groupsets.
Mark was so amazingly helpful and understanding. Took my bike in for a service and he showed plenty of care with all the questions I had to ask while I was there. He gives really trustworthy and honest advice. After the service, the bike feels great. Will be coming back
I went in to see if a $4 bike tool was in stock. Mark was happy to discuss a niche issue I'm having with a front derailleur. We also chatted about the merits of various electronic and mechanical groupsets . There was no expectation. It was 100% genuine advice and friendly service.
The absolute only place you should be taking your bike for a service in Sydney! I recently had my e-bike serviced here, and can’t think of a single flaw with the service. The guys at Vanilla really know their stuff, and clearly really care about giving locals quality services.
