Hi All,

Long time reader, 1st time poster.

In need of some help as I'm leaving the nest in Bournemouth in search of better mountain biking and singletrack bliss

Can anyone recommend good local bike shops, run by riders, capable of looking after my beloved steed? I'm also after somewhere that does a good demo range as I'm keen to try out some more options.

Thankyou

    Dunno if it's decent, but there's one in Lymm, just off the Transpennine Trail.

    I'd recommend Royles in Wilmslow. They have been pretty good with me in the past when I have been looking to buy a new bike. They let me ride a £1000 Trek round the surrounding streets without leaving a deposit.

    There's also the Specialized Concept Store in Chester

    Can't recommend them as I've never used them, but there's these guys in Knutsford itself:

    Theres also an Evans in Machester centre and one near the trafford centre. Both pretty big, and stock full of exotica
