thought it was time for another little update, it's been a bit mental this last month, the sun came out for pretty much 3 weeks and everyone dug their bikes out of the shed, the shop is open tuesday to saturday, but tuesday to friday i haven't left the shop until about 11pm except for one night, saturdays average around 8 or 9pm, and i tend to do a few hours on sundays and mondays as well. to be fair the money has been pretty good as a result, so i decided to order some shop fittings that i had wanted for a while, i find i quite often want to move stuff around, basically if there's a stock change chances are it somehow forces me to move stuff around. today, a Bank Holiday i decided was the best day to move everything around, i phoned up as many customers as possible to get repaired bikes out so luckily there's not many bikes in right now, 7 of the 9 in at the moment are done, 2 came in yesterday and aren't needed for a week so i'll do them on tuesday.
i also have quite a few retro bikes at the shop now, they're put out of the way but i show them off quite often especially when people ask about restorations or paint jobs etc
anyway, here's some pics, and hopefully descriptions as well.
panoramic shot from the staircase
my little sale rail. when it's time to get stuff gone i do an excessive discount, this lot is 40% off
muc off stand
topeak stand, i have another one of these stands coming soon, which will mean a smaller move around when it arrives
oils, cleaning stuff, sealant, puncture stuff etc
i wanted the saddles much more accessable, the way the shop was laid out before made it a pain to get to them

more pics, there's loads as i am pretty happy with the way it all looks at the moment!
bars etc, burgtec, USE, Deity etc
grips, i have so many options!!
the cabinets
loads of pedals etc
the last of the Bell helmets, these are all half price, Bell are going direct to consumer, means it's pointless having them, they'll always be able to undercut shops, they trying to have their cake and eat it, a lot of shops will dump the brand, not ideal.

then there's upstairs,
lets do the retro stuff first!
as you walk up the stairs you get to see the 92 explosif and the 95 kilauea
then there are 2, yes 2 nickel P7's! a 96/97 that's built with 9 speed xt and V brakes, as well as a 94/95 with 8 speed XT with canti brakes
then above the shelves theres the 92 Aluminium O and a 92 Proflex
then on the back wall there's the Seeker, the Courier Comp and the Alu Pro
