Anyone used the above?

Quite a good deal on an Altura jacket I am after, but not heard of them before.

Thatto Cycles who are behind the site are my LBS. They are excellent :-).

They sourced and built up my 5 Spot, always helpful, friendly and go the extra mile.

Paul who runs the shop is a top bloke - I would be suprised if you had any problems with them.

They guy who ran the first Thatto Cycles about 20 years ago was the best wheel builder I ever used.

He was so good at it, I believe he went and started a business building spoked bike and classic car wheels.

Can anyone confirm this or tell me what happened to him?

Paul who runs the shop now is a great wheel builder but think he keeps it abit quite as he is mad busy with the shop and the bikesyoulike website is run from the premises and employs staff solely for that side of the business, i think.

Top marks from me (another woollyback member)and its my LBS to.

(Paul will be in for commission tomorrow :wink:)

Another Woollyback member here and yet another vote for Thatto's.

We should get a group discount from Paul now shouldn't we?

Thursday nights are fast "training" rides and not many prisoners are taken. Sunday rides are more social, we have "newbie" rides to assess the fitness of new members.
