Yes... it seemed like it had a really high ceiling and stuff hanging everywhere. Big counter that was a glass fronted cabinet. I remember buying a Mt Zefal pump and some Christophe toe clips from them.

My god, that takes me back... probably not been down the road in nearly 35 years!

Yes same. Do you remember Singletrack Bikes on Northgate Street, opposite the big Church on London Road. After Graham's shop closed I used to go there as often as I could. Rob I think his name was, the guy who ran it. You could pay a pound to leave your bike there in their basement.

Jesus Christ you guys are making me all teary eyed, I used to have a part time job at Sainsbury’s across the road in Northgate street

Maybe a bit too early - how about Gloucester Cycle centre which was massive and on the corner

Or
How about Banana Sport in Cheltenham !

Yes I remember banana sports at the top of Montpellier. I used to go to Noah's Ark as well when they still had a shop in Cheltenham.
