Just been to popup bikes yesterday. Guy seems to know a bit about the fixed scene in Manchester which is more than I can say for most bike shops in manch but there you go.
Anyway the owner (Dipak I think he's called) is way friendly and keen to talk about anything. The place is cool but does smell a bit like damp when you walk in... Just because of the location and stuff. But it's great. I will go there again just to hang out and if I bump into other fixie riders great! But unfortunately the coffee ain't as good as ntp (north tea power) but then their standard is pretty high.
I am really excited that there's a lot of chatter about this subject! I myself and a finatic about coffee and actually want to open my own coffee shop running coffee like ntp but also with a lot for cyclists and repairs... But this may not happen soon :/ need to get a business plan together etc first.
