yep, thanks to the above posters for the positive comments about harry halls
its taken me a while to get the track stuff in, but i think we're slowly getting there... partly due to me bugging the owner about stuff, but also to the folk that have requested and patiently waited for the specialist parts to come in - without you guys i'd still be trying to flog a solitary miche chainset and a front miche hub with no axle nuts...
we have - steel + alu dolan frames, the usual plug (tank) langster, fillmore, ss tricross as stock.
we have a 54cm trek t1 which really is a nice frame -def worth upgrading the stock parts...
also genesis flyer f/s for £230, and the fbm sword for about 450-500... preorder only
njs parts - mks pedals/straps, toshi bits, nitto bars, sugino cranks and rings etc
also - rear large flange da rear flipflop njs hubs - hidden away in the madison catalogue - for £55. one of those set me back a lot more 10 years ago - its the same price as a da small flange front.
we also have profile racing fixed gear hubs in. these are the f*cking bomb. i prefer them to phil's (for whatever thats worth)... and they come in colours...
kashimax stuff will be inbound within the next month or so
if anyone in the manchester area needs anything, stop by the store and see me - i'm here to help. if we dont have what you want, i'll do my best to source it for you
now, my 2 cents about manchester...
bikeboutique is good for cheaper repairs-jaime and paul are top guys, bike doc is a friendly store, the bikes from the academy van aint roadworthy gbh on tib street do some interesting conversions and use a lot of recycled bits... evans and ebc are the regular bike supermarkets, and decathalon in stockport are great for cheap tubes etc
dont be dissapointed if there's not a load of trackstuff at the velodrome. its a bike jumble foremost - however, i will be selling a merck 55, san marco 57, mebbe a dolan kilo champion, and some other bits and pieces... anyone coming up here want dibs, holler me
