Don't think there is one anymore ... Litespeed cycles (I think) now seem to be Field and Trek.

There are two. One on the main road is a walking shop that rents out Treks and carries some good stock.

Then there is Bics Betws? - Its behind the shops look out for the sign, small shop but nice guy who runs it, dont know his name.

Go and see Martin in 1868 Racing just down the road in Llanwrst he's very good.

I don't think Beics Betws exists as a shop any more - last time I went there, it was just a hire place.

yep, uwe-r's link is the place. They don't do direct sales now.

There is a shop at the top of the village (past the bridge, on the right) but I can't remember the name.

Cheers.

One on the main road is pretty good, Beics Betws isn't a shop anymore - hire only.

Beics Betws guy is really nice - sorted me out with a seatpost bolt after mine snapped on the Marin, shop on the main road didn't have any of the right size and we tried him on spec.

Beics Betws supplied me a chain last year. Good blokes help out if you're in trouble.

Talking of Beics Betws, what happend to Sian Roberts? Last I heard they were down at Coed y Brenin but that was decades ago. Bought my second MTB from her at Betws in 1989. Niiice. Even with gravel rash on her face. ( Why do I remember that?)
