Bawbags :evil: typical edinburgh bike, we are out of stock of the hubs. Every bloody year!! Demoted back to pish bike shop!!

They're worse in the flesh, I was in the shop for the sale today. Reducing overpriced stuff by 25% merely makes it recommended retail price :roll:

What a lot of useless crap they couldnt sell and for good reason.

Mind you the Genesis DayOne SS cyclocross bike they had on display was very tasty but other than that i would not part with my readies in EBC.

Shame really, back in the 90's they had some great VFM kit but now they've gone corporate, just like being in an Evans or such like.

Totally agree, I travelled from over here to go to the shop on the strength of their bikiness and good rep and deserved it was too.

you could of phoned/e-mailed/pm'd me and i'd of nipped in for you :roll: am off for the full 2 weeks


wonder if the bike station will be open tomorrow ?

Bike Station closed until the 5th January.

The Bike Co-op used to be a great place but now it pretty much caters for people who have no plan to ever get their hands dirty and will bring their bikes in for service every few months. Their spare parts stock is shocking to say the least.

I would be willing to lay money that 90% of their regular customers read the Scotland On Sunday .
