    Do you not get on with Ben Haywards?

    There supposed to be a good one in Ely, but I can't remember the name of it off-hand
    Has the head wind picked up or the tail wind dropped off???

    Ben Haywards is good (staff friendly and helpful) but limited choice - guess i'm a bit lazy and want to be able to comapre more bikes in one go.
    I've had a qquick look in the Ely store and will probably give it a better look over the weekend - near my folks place. I know they stock Orbea and Pinarello
    Cheers

    Im also looking for a good! bike shop. Have tried all our ones in Cambridge but of course there is no budging on the price of the bikes. I currently have a Giant Terrago disc and a Dawes hybrid but I'm looking to purchase a Giant FCR 1 w but need to sit on one prior to purchase. No joy as yet! I guess we shall keep lookin :evil: :?

    May be too late - I think there may be a Giant FCR w (or was it an OCR??) at Micks Cycles in Bury St Edmunds. Would be best to give them a call before you pop over though, just to make sure.
