Re:

i thought i'd do another little update as i've had a few intresting things in just recently, not to mention the constant changes in the shop.

i moved the stock around in the shop mainly because i was worried about sticky fingered people so everything small is near me at the back of the shop.

i have built another 2 Demon Frameworks bikes, i have pics of one and a couple of the other but i forgot to get pics on the red one :facepalm:

anyway here's the pics.

loads of shimano in stock!

lights are selling well since the clocks changed, Moon and Cygolite seem to popular

i'm pretty obsessed with grips as locally some shops don't seem to bother stocking many

this is my reference back to my time in NZ, also a relatively rare boxed Pickwick Bicycle club clay pipe which is still boxed, with the Pickwick, you get it and know about it or you don't.

Re:

Wow, I wish you were more local to me.

I won't be in your area before Christmas, but I must make the effort to come in and say 'hello' in the New Year.

Great looking shop.

Re:

so the Demon pics

this was scary, Facing a BB on a 953 reynolds frame built by Demon and painted by Fatcreations, putting tools near that level of work is scary

it was built with Campagnolo Athena, it was lovely.

the next Demon however was lovely, and my size! Ultegra Di2, chris king headset, BB and hubs on H plus Son rims, this one was painted by TA paintworks in satin black, the lugs etc are nickel plated
