The useful things thread

Berkshire Cycles in Crowthorne on the high street. Been using them for years always willing to offer discounts and generally a good bunch.
Close to Swinley Forest (less than a 10 minute drive) and open Sundays too.

Baker Street Bikes www.bakerstbikes.co.uk - friendly and helpful and helped me out loads in the past few years. I walk past other bike shops to get there.

Anodizing company - 10, Dyke Road Mews, Dyke Rd, Brighton. Another helpful lot if you erm, well, need some ano.

Quoted £35+vat for my frame which falls under the "Small Item" category.
This was to mask, blast, prime and coat.

Not the fastest at replying to emails though.

This thread is lacking cake stops. I'll start.

'The Steyning Tea Rooms' 32 High Street, Steyning, West Sussex BN44 3YE
01903 810064 - not too far from South Downs Way and good Food

Carats Cafe Basin Road South, Southwick, BN41 1WF 01273 430 924 - note from A259 you have to cross the lock near Nautilus Hse: 90 – 100 Albion Street Southwick

http://www.southdownsway-hikersrest.com/ - Sadlescombe Farm, SDW. Good reports from those that spend more time eating cake than on a bike, but not been there yet. Check opening times.

Ditchling Tea Rooms‎ 6-8 West Street Hassocks, West Sussex BN6 8TS, United Kingdom 01273 842 708 (It is very much in Ditchling - opp the church)

Would be good to find others, whether on road or off. Pref your favourites, but also if you know of a few 'useful to know about' ones if people need them. If they are the sort of place that can consistently ruin toast, perhaps best not mentioned

A genius idea Da Evo!

Here's my favourite in the world ever...
