    anybody had any dealings with them? any good.. just asking really (as they seem to be doing an excellent deal on SRAM Rival groupsets which im thinking of going for) but i’m just being overly suspicious as it is a lot cheaper than most other online retailers etc

    cheers.

    My old LBS from kiddy days is still going on strong but its a shame they don’t do modern stuff… but need a 5spd wheel to restore a 80’s classic.

    But if you go in, bloke pops up from nowhere covered in oil and with a cockney accent “Can I help?”.
    I wonder if in the last 30 yrs he has the same oil and clothes on…if only he sold modern bling bike bits!

    I’d rather choose LBS than Halfrauds.

    Fudges cycles have been polite on every dumb question I have asked them and I order my Rival brakes from them.

    I didn’t mean Fudges Cycles I meant LBS elsewhere but with the idea to support little shops like Fudges cycles.

    Fudges Rival cranks are cheap too.

    gone and ordered myself a new gruppo (SRAM Rival) this a.m. so will see what goes, mind you did feel a bit bad for the LBS but what can yo do when its nearly £250/300 notes cheaper on the net, (still i do spend a fair whack in there on bits etc so dont feel too bad about it)

    I’ve come across their store on ebay and bought a few bits n pieces from them. Likewise I felt was a bit concerned as they were so cheap. Everything arrived as described and quickly which is all you need really!

    Although it’s not my neck of the woods any more they’ve always been around and it appears they’re in the same family ownership. You can draw your own conclusions about how slick they’re likely to be viz a viz the big mailorder names but they’re good people and unlikely to do you. Probably just trying to do what all nice old school local bike shops are trying to do and that’s learn some new skills while taking care of business. Good on ’em.

    does the colour scheme and layout remind you of any other online cycle retailers? 😀
