Mrs DAVIES Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Which is everyone's favourite bike shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Barker Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I have two options depending on what I need. When it comes to wheels I head to Echelon Cycles in Pershore where they make my wheels to my own specifications When it comes to repairs that are beyond my (basic) ability to deal with I head to a guy based in Cotteridge called Nick Vipond. Nick is a Beacon member and also works in a bicycle shop in Kings Heath but does work for friends and friends of friends at home to supplement his income. His work is of the highest quality and considerably cheaper than using a shop. If anyone wants his details just pm me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Vipond Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hi folks. Many thanks Sean for the recommendation, much appreciated. I'd be very glad to help anyone out with repairs or advice any time just drop me a PM or give me a call 07734834016. I'd usually hope to get most jobs turned around within 2-3 days or less depending on family (and riding) commitments etc. With regard to replacement parts I can source most things but it's often cheaper for you to order direct online. I don't generally get involved with wheel builds, hydraulics or suspension. I'm based in Cotteridge. Regards, Nic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs DAVIES Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Nic did both my bikes within an hour. Its wonderful to have gears that work. Even if I am riding home from work in heavy traffic and freezing sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
