GOD where on earth do you live ? I myself work in my local halfords, and yes we do have a few good tools .. but you try finding them, they get used and then misplaced. I only take my dh steed if i need the rack to tune gears or some form of major work because i dont have the tools at home.

Back to topic ...
I think any good bike shop needs :
- good, friendly service
- knowledgable staff
- good resources, ie, tools and links with main important distrubtors
- clear displays, ie, bikes out so customers can sit on them or at least see them

Great, i'll probaly go into buy/try some one then, although Derek will probaly try and sell me a bike to match lol.

And occasionally a stripper.. and lager.


no proper shop with a mechhead that rides.. lacks lager.
