Caltrigger Posted January 9, 2012 Share Good day, I am based in East London and have a few friends in the Bike Business. It has always been a hot topic in our small town as to who your LBS is and what they do and don't do when it comes to supporting them. I was wondering what the national guys think is the most important factor regarding LBS and what makes one better than the other? I added a poll, hope it works, mainly as an idicator as to what rates as more important....maybe you have other aspects to add so please do so if you wish... This is not for anyone to be singled out but rather to better the service we recieve and in so doing improve and grow the sport of MTB/Road Cycling in the area... SO PLEASE CAN EVERYONE COMMENT!! Thanks! Edited January 9, 2012 by Caltrigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChigginLeg Posted January 10, 2012 Share Complete Cyclists rocks - great good technicians, beautiful bikes and happy to fix my "weekend mechanic" c*ck ups. And the best looking club kit, especially if you got the Jose Cuervo edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed Posted January 10, 2012 Share so you're saying it's similar to your weekday job?! Similar, apart from having no DVD player at work, but I guess there's always YouToob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeTurbo Posted January 11, 2012 Share Woodstock Cycleworks: lekker vibe. Lots of young guys with SSs and fixies and bike passion. Not obsessed with racing. Doing short coffee runs at 7am on Saturdays, with croissants and talking ***. Admiring the latest creation or awesome original steel bike in the window.

Gareth1982 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Dingo Cycles Potchefstroom, They don't always have what I want in stock but they are always willing to order it and I have it in a day or two. As for the service and knowledge on Products they are great, always get good advice. I only do business with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
