Royles in Wilmslow is big and pretty smart looking, although I think they're a little pricey.

Let's go drink till we can't feel feelings anymore!
If you can't remember it, it probably happened!

Sorry ,I feel I have to put in my two penneth here but this was our experience things may (hopefully) have changeded.

We bought an ex demo cannondale f900 for my wife from NWMBC , she rode the bike around the yard we signed the paperwork and took the bike home.

As it had been round the yard(or so we thought) a few times it was in need of a wash , so out into the garden and of with the chainstay sticker(we had a spare lizard skin), there was very little paint left on the chainstay and there were huge gouges out of the underside.then I noticed the rear wheel rim had been replaced it had the same profile as the front but was a different brand.

the bike had obviously been hammered not taken round the carpark , as I said this was my experience and Peatys ex mechanic or not I personally wouldn't use them again , the chainstay damage had purposefully been hidden and this was the reason we used for returning the bike.

they could be good for new unused bikes though , but make sure you give any purchases(from any shop) a really good check over.

we eventaully got her a new f700 from leisure lakes in Bury.

I cant really sing there merits ether, took my bike in there
for a service they had it a week, went in needing gears setting
up (Before I learnt) came out the same as it went in, minus œ45
quid

I always get the feeling in bike shops that unless your part
of the crowd, you get fobbed off
