Fixed gear shops?

I'm heading into bristol tommorrow and was wondering if there are any bike shops that cater for us folk? I after some fixed sprockets ideally.

Not really Im afraid.
The odd nice vintage campag piece occasionally turns up in bristol bike workshop but thats about it.
I would suggest heading into bath, freshtripe is based there.

i think strada in bedminster keeps some sprockets in

Where abouts are Freshtripe in Bath? I'm guessing they don't have a shop.

Im not sure, all I know is that theyre based there

Freshtripe are virtual. I've just taken delivery of some Oury grips from them, good service, nice design connections!

does freshtripe have a shop in bath i'm considering a trip over there to visit family!

No.

Johns Bikes in Bath are good though.

I'll check that out then, is there much interest in bath for fixed then or ...

No it's just a good bike shop.

This may be obvious, but don't ever go to Cyclelife on Stokes Croft. Just had a very bad experience with the 'mechanic' fitting my lockring with a hammer despite me asking him if he had the right tool and that I had a hammer and screwdriver myself. Just enforces my view that I'm going to buy the tools and do the fixing myself in future. In general, bike shops suck, why is this?

You cant really make this generalisation based on one bad experience.

Erm, I didn't, I've had plenty of bad service from lots of different shops. There are a few good ones out there (strada, Bike Workshop, Bike), but I would struggle to say any of them are excellent for choice, service, knowledge etc. Anyway, I seem to be getting people's backs up today so I'm going to fuck off! See ya.
