By proper I mean not just bling bikes and sales patter but good solid advice/no pressure with good bikes rather than carbon everywhere. I remember Geoffrey Butler in Croydon was good to visit.

TBH I'm not keen on Harry Hall after a previous visit.

Try Eddie McGraths in Urmston. Phil & Stuart will give you good advice and are in the Manchester Wheelers. They are Giant dealers but can source other stuff. They can also do you a fitting.

Royles is OK but it's all a bit bling. Customer service can be a little hit and miss too.

I can get you a good deal on a New Dawes Century SE if you like Mark...

Audux bike? I like the idea of steel. Plus it'd be a good bike for commuting. My track bike needs a new rear wheel and chainset at the moment.

Audax and yes. Comes with full guards. Reviewed well according to road.cc too.

I fancied one but can't really justify it at the moment.
