They rebuilt my gears and tweaked everything for me when the most favoured option appeared to be to buy a new bike for almost three times the price. I was really pleased with the result, the bike has never ridden better, and last time I went back to ask to have it serviced I was advised after a quick look that the gears and brakes all seemed OK, so they just pumped up the tyres and advised me to come back in a few months. Their experience and mechanics are very good. I have had inferior service at the big bike shops in Bristol in the past, and it seems tragic that not more people outside of the typical non- 'badass bike' stereotype know of this business on our doorstep. They have been at Burrington for nearly two years now. I hope that you can support them as it is great to have such a good business on our doorstep. Their name, for some people, might appear to rule them out, but don’t let it put you off: they provide a knowledgeable and firstrate service for all age groups and types of bikes, and I hope that I am getting that across to the Village Journal readership. By the way, I am not a shareholder: just someone who likes to keep good things in the community. It was a shame when Wrington Greens disappeared...and perhaps I could have done more to help encourage folk to support them at the time.
