Yeah had sort of noticed that it's not great for LBSs but hoped there was something around. I'll see what these guys in the Giant store manage but it's not my kind of thing really. I suppose there aren't any cycle-based/friendly cafes either? Another Dandy-Horse-shaped-gap in the market.
Bobbybobbob-
I didn't even know there was a Giant store.
Artel is cycle-friendly, in that you can lean your bike outside by the sign and practically touch it from where you're sitting. But rather go there because it's run by Kieran (@12ounce) and is likely the best coffee going. No actual cycle-cafés at the moment though, I think.

Andy is a great mechanic, though his selection of spares is quite limited, from what I remember. Streetlife were decent enough, but I think they'll have closed their workshop by now. I wouldn't leave any of my bikes with Pedal Revolution or Cycles UK for anything more taxing than a derailleur hanger realignment, personally. Borwell's ain't bad.
The only guy I actually used for any serious jobs disappeared along with Dandy Horse, sadly. Norwich isn't a great place to be LBS-wise if you're not into expensive carbon road bikes.
