Triathlon Shop if that's your thing (Southside). Alpine Bikes (10m walk from TBC). Bike Co-op (Bruntsfield)

Velo Ecosse just down the hill from the coop is worth a look, had some bargains from there. Quite a few other little shops but thats probably the main ones. Edinburgh Bike Coop is the biggest but that doesn't mean they'll have what you want in the size you want or that the staff will be all that helpful. Alpine Bikes are ok but it was better years ago when it was a privately run shop, can't remeber the name. The Bike Chain are on here a lot, organising rides etc and so far seem like a good bunch, can't ride but I guess thats because they are all work and no play

Our riding quality varies from Dasa being Ex World Cup BMX racer wiv stripes n everyfink, to James who is pretty handy DH, to Tom who can ride as long as it's on a tourer for 30k miles round the world, to Onion who likes XTR a lot, to me who talks a good game... Jimmy starts today, yet to see his speciality.
We would love to welcome you - let me know when you appear and the kettle will be on!
