Affiliate disclosure

The house holds no inventory. When you request a piece, the request is passed to an authorised retailer, and the sale — price, tax, shipping, duties, returns — is completed between you and that retailer. TheAeroDrop never takes payment for a bicycle.

If you go on to buy, the retailer may pay the house a commission. That is the commercial arrangement, and it is disclosed here and in the footer of every page rather than buried in a modal.

Velodrom CC for continental Europe, Sigma Sports for the United Kingdom, R&A Cycles for the United States and worldwide delivery. Each is an established dealer with its own stock, its own service and its own terms of sale.

The partners are named because a disclosure that hides the counterparties is not a disclosure. The list is current as of the date at the head of this page; when a partnership ends, the partner is removed.

A percentage of the sale, paid by the retailer out of its own margin. The price you see at the retailer is identical whether or not a commission is paid: the house adds no markup, no fee and no handling charge. If a retailer pays nothing on a given piece, the piece is linked exactly the same way and the price does not change.

It does not buy a place in the catalogue, a favourable verdict, a position in a ranking, or the removal of a criticism. Partners have no advance sight of a report and no right to request changes. Where a machine is criticised and a partner sells it, the criticism is published unchanged.

No page on this site carries paid placement. Nothing in the catalogue is there because someone paid for it to be there.

Every piece is linked to the public product page of an authorised retailer, selected by the region you are reading from. Where an affiliate link is active, the destination is the same product page, with a tracking parameter appended by the network. The house does not cloak links behind redirects that misrepresent where they lead.

The annual Reserve membership is paid to TheAeroDrop for the club itself: concierge sourcing, partner benefits and the Strava Premium gift. It is a service fee, not a commission, and it buys no coverage of any product.

If a link looks wrong, if a price at a retailer does not match the reference build published here, or if you want to know whether a specific piece is linked through an affiliate agreement, ask. The answer is given plainly.
