Hello guys, can anyone recommend me a LBS in the Liverpool/Merseyside area, i'm looking to purchase a flat bar road bike very soon and wondered if anyone had had any standout recommendations?

I have been to the new Giant store, tho they seem very inflexible on any form of deals/ free extras etc. I am after something like the 2009 Giant FCR range, though i may consider trek as well.

Any thoughts?

    I'd go with Quinns on Edge Lane.
    They do a lot of Trek and Specialized in there and they will do you a deal.
    I got money off a wheelset by going in with the best price I could get it for off the internet and asking them if they could match it - which they did.

    So definitely Quinns

    There was a really good one who's name escapes me just up from Childwall 5 ways... Was the home of Corrado frames.

    Do you mean Abbey Cycles?

    They're good, but not as highly recommended as Quinn's. You can get parked near Abbey, of course.

    abbey sold a corrado frame to my mate a few years back- they insisted it was a great fit for him- they sold him a 58cm frame -hes 5'7" :shock:
