· By BikeHubCoreAdmin · 49 comments

The new Cycle Lab Megastore opened its door on the 8th November. Although announced as a ‘soft’ opening , over 2500 cyclists visited the store on the opening Saturday with many of them picking up their last minute bits ‘n pieces prior to the 94.7 Cycle Challenge.

Located just off William Nicol Drive, near Design Quarter, the Cycle Lab Megastore measures 2300m2 and is the largest cycling retail store in the Southern Hemisphere. The store houses the widest range of bikes with over 1000 bikes in stock and 250 models to choose from. They also have a full range of accessories and kit.

The Scott fitting system is the first in the country and will ensure that customers leave with a bike perfectly setup to suit them. The front of the store features a UCI designer pump track where customers can try out over 40 demo bikes and find the perfect fit for them.

The Cycle Lab Megastore Grand Opening kicks off with a Cocktail Party on the 28th November and then 3 days of opening specials beginning on Friday the 29th November, followed up with a Xmas promotion in December.

must be honest I've never tried a bike before I've bought it.......haven't gone too wrong though, but that's a real nice touch to test it on a somewhat more realistic setting than the parking lot......

I see they will be offering trade-ins and selling second hand bikes. Easy way to get rid of your old bike if your don't want the hassel of selling your old bike yourself.

Saw a tweet from the labrats saying that they will be selling Schwalbe RR snakeskin on a buy one get one free...So it will be 900 odd bucks for two tyres....I think that might even be below cost(read loss leader)

Strange question but what's going to happen to the old Design Quarter store down the road from the new one? I assume it's being closed completely?

I really like the way it tensions a chain....also the color is very nice, with a whisky fork. I really don't need another bike but demmit.
