Well I will from Monday. Yesterday I visited The Hub Works, the cycle shop in Shirley where Suze got her last bike. I’d been really impressed with the service she’d got, her previous bike had been stolen the insurers had issued a check for a fixed amount that was already made out to The Hub Works.
In this sort of situation there’s no incentive for the shop to cut any sort of deal, you’re a captive customer who can’t spend their cash any where else. Despite that the guy we dealt with, who turned out to be the manager, really went the extra mile to give Suzey the best deal he could by shaving a decent % of a bunch of accessories. He lost some money short term but it was the first place I went to to get a bike and yesterday go this little beauty:
It’s a Trek 75fx. I had a quite go round the block on it and despite the 20 years that’s passed since last having a go it all came back to me like er… riding a bike. They’re adding the rack and lights I picked up and I should be able to get it sometime Monday.

ooh, spooky. We went there on Friday pm as Con had his bike stolen this week too. Unfortunately it’s a BMX he’s after and they have little stock for these:(
