I've got to twiddle my thumbs near Leamington Spa tomorrow, anyone know of any decent bike shops to visit near there, say a 10 mile radius?
Kelvin Cycles sold me my 1st mtb, it was a size too big! (10 years ago, I don't hold much of a grudge)
John Atkins [i]used[/i] to have some interesting stuff in..
Broadribbs behind the parade (they sell as discount bike direct on the t'internet)
The bikeyard where just opening when I last visited.
The bike yard in Leamington is in the town centre, but is quite small. Mike Vaughan in Kenilworth is much more substantial if you want a browse, and they seem like a nice bunch too
Atkins & Bike yard (get them to direct you to the 4X track) are best in town & mike Vaughan in Kenilworth, broadribbs is ok but can be a bit meh these days
How much thumb twiddling? Bikedynamic is in Leamington. Well worth a visit if he's got space.
Used to quite like Mike Vaughn but now I am lukewarm at best. They refused at first to true a wheel for me - apparently because I hadn't bought the bike from them...
[url= http://www.thebikeyard.net/ ]thebikeyard[/url] are good, and slightly bigger than you might imagine (they have showrooms at the back!). Lovely chaps and chappesses.
[url= http://www.johnatkinscycles.co.uk/home.html ]John Atkins[/url] are good, but I'd say more road orientated than mtb focused.
[url= http://www.broadribbcyclesleamingtonspa.co.uk/ ]Broadribbs[/url] have improved a lot since they were refitted.
There's [url= http://mikevaughan.co.uk/ ]Mike Vaughan's[/url] in Kenilworth (Trek, Specialized), but they can be a bit funny.
I can heavily recommend Albany Cycles in Coventry, good service, will do deals on price for regulars, and good for fork servicing.
Thanks all, especially Mrs Toast - the links helped no end on a slow 3g connection 🙂
Found a couple of them, went into the Bikeyard asked for a half-link and came out with a hydration pack 🙂
