From the cyclescheme website.
A very small selection of Cyclescheme's partner bike shops may wish to add an administration fee to quotes for custom bikes.
This is because the profit margins on custom bikes, built in the UK, are lower than those available on standard, mass-produced bikes. The shop also has much more administration when building a custom bike as parts have to be ordered in advance and in-house builds coordinated amongst other daily work.
The administration fee is typically no more than 10 to 12% and is ONLY applicable to custom bikes.
