Probably doesn’t bode well for the existing Trek dealer in the city 😕

The experiences I’ve had the existing shops haven’t been that encouraging the one you refer to being the better. I’d rather (and always do) drive the extra distance and go to Escape Route in Pitlochry.
Alpine may, perhaps end up getting my ‘balls! I don’t have ____ I’ll hit Halfords on the passing’ business.

Well it’s pretty good. Wide range of bikes from kids balance bikes through hybrids to plastic road bikes and Santa crux superlights. Nice airy shop, reasonable cafe, and a soft play area to keep the kids occupied while you browse. The tiso bit sells top end outdoor gear rather than the usual chav face smoking puffer jackets etc.

I also learned that one of the first tiso shops was on Rodney st in Edinburgh, presumably not a million miles away from the uk’s favourite bike shop.

I remember buying a rucsac from the Tiso shop in Morningside around 1980.

+1 for Escape Route in Pitlochry
