Today I went over to AW cycles in Reading to use my cycle to work funds.
usually i hate local bike stores and will do anything to avoid using one, but they were awesome .
Absolutely outstanding service, they had what I wanted, Giant TCR Advantage 3 road bike ( rocking horse poo , cant get them anywhere )
they are going to custom fit free the bike of charge, this includes swapping the bars,saddle,crank size ,stem and seat-post if necessary.
all included in the purchase price.
they were extremely helpful,polite and knowledgeable but to top it all off the prices were better than most on line vendors for park tool’s ,tyres and other general paraphernalia .
So my new local bike store is a 20 mile drive away,if that what it takes to get great service I’m happy with that.
