Any recommendations for good bike stores stocking a wide range of good clothing ranges - Castelli etc.

Most of my local stores have the usual Altura, Specialized, couple with Assos - not many with Castelli and other brands. Just seeking recommendations for stores in the north/ midlands that offer extensive ranges where I can try when passing through [prefer to buy in store when I can find suitable ranges].

Please dont limit it to areas above - post any location, sure it will be appreciated by all.

Thanks
paul

    There are very few, if any with a decent selection and a good stock of sizes.

    I was wondering the other day whether cycling is now popular enough to support a dedicated clothing store? The sizing differs so much between brands that it would be really useful to be able to try stuff on.

    Any budding entrepreneurs out there want to give it a try?

    I'd use it

    the competition is fierce for any store to hold stock on the floor when punters will try on, google and then buy from the cheapest

    or retailers such as wiggle or CRC who operate free returns as well as competitive prices...
