Have a spare morning before heading back to Sweden tomorrow and wouldn’t mind nosing about in a few shops.

Thinking prestige in Hove and maybe the new one up near five ways, although it’s hard to tell from their homepage what they have in stock. But Kinesis would be interesting to see in the flesh.

Anything else worth looking at?

Rayment is conveniently half way between the two 🙂

Freedom Bikes just of St Jimmy’s Street (George road I think)
Sometimes they are good, sometime they are dismissive …

Go see my friend Adam at Rayment. 🙂

Handmade frames of interest?

Chickens Frame Emporium

Yeah rule5 that’s the one.

Rayments, wow that was always a real marmite shop back in the 90’s, glad to see its still going.

Ooh thanks for the Chickens link, not sure they have a shop front though. Could spend/invest some time there.

Not a shopfront as such but a workshop in Woodingdean where you can go and have a chat (worth giving him a call to make sure he’ll be there first though).

Reassuringly so – apparently my request for loctiting in the valve cores on my last build was mental, and not going to be done! 😉 I like that the guys in charge are also getting their hands dirty, I’m more confident that any work will be done right.

Freedom Bikes were great with my Rocket build, I forget the guys name now but he seemed to be the main mechanic and he seemed to enjoy a bike chat, nice guy.

Is Al still at Freedom bikes? Great bloke, loves his bikes. Not seen him in years though, must drop in there sometime
