So before someone else says it....halfords......my friend wanted to buy a bike a couple of weeks before crimbo,he spotted one he wanted asked if he could have a look....was told help himself,the bike was above head height and locked to a rack and the guy walked off,he pointed out it was locked to the stand amd the guy said its the wrong size for you anyway and then walked off.....he left :roll:

On the other hand john borwells in norwich is good,so is another shop whos name eludes me in norwich.....started in the mid 90s......but really helpful guys who actually ride as well........

since stuart males died about eight years ago we have had no great bike shops in my area :cry: :cry: :cry:
