Rick Green Cycles, Handforth (South Manchester) – roadie shop. Family run. Fantastic workshop skills. (Old LBS, I’ve now moved)
Harry Hall, Manchester – old reputation (of rudeness) went away. Always used them as were near old work. Finally became friendly..!
Sideways Cycles, Alsager – family run. Ace niche stuff. Friendly. Great service. Not local to me, but an ace business.
Paul Hewitt, Leyland – legendary wheels. Now close to me.
Merlin Cycles – now v nearby. Have used mailorder for years.
Harry Middleton, Ormskirk – another I don’t yet know, but rep is good and they have a sizeable (road) club riding from the shop.
