[Closed] LBS' and the recession

Shameless plug for Bothy Bikes in Aviemore - everything a good LBS should be. Incredibly helpful, very knowledgable, great mechanics, have done numerous tweaks for free, AND get very close to or match CRC/Wiggle on prices for almost everything from kit to bike bits. Buy nearly everything from them.

To druid's point about being helpful, doing bits for free and reaping the profit later - absolutely spot on. Not only have I bought loads of stuff from BB, including my bike, but on my recommendation a friend has just gone and spent about £4k with them on new bikes

I'm with flange - Lifecycle UK give great service. Good selection of stuff across all price ranges and are willing to order stuff in. The banter and insults are first rate to 😉
