monkian, I used to live in Abingdon. Where about did you live? I remember drooling over Suntour pedals that were way exspensive in the glass cabinet in braggs. :D
ED209:
Junction Cycles in Mellis, near Eye, Suffolk.
Neal & Sue Jarvis ... I worked there in the summer holidays and loved it. They sponsored our team and we practiced in the street outside at lunchtimes.
Happy days :)
aerostylie:
Stetchford Cycles, place to go if ya lived in Brum (or Halfords in Chelmsley Wood shopping cente ;D )
then used to cycle up to H Craig cycles in Bordesley Green (great little shop with trick bits)
Im sure I got this YES cap from Ladypool cycles (that's me dad btw!) and all the other bits, bars, grips, levers were from those shops

Rob that cycle shop in Hatfield is cack! they never have a thing in the shop that need! >:(
as for Custom Riders, i think they were in Hitchin rather than Stevenage fella..........i grew up in Stevenage and we never had a shop like his (unfortunately) although it was great when Mason popped into Bowes so we could all drool over his Gen1 :smitten:

BMX Specials was the LBS for me in Harrogate. Spent loads of time there on both sides of the counter.
Not far away was Melanie Vauvelle's Ultra BMX in Yeadon Leeds, had some nice stuff in there but didn't last long.
And a little further away was Cobra BMX in Bradford - this preceeded BMX Specials and Ultra BMX and was such a rad shop! It was like walking into BMX mecca, rows of the chrome shinney chrome frame and forks and bars and wheels and cranks and seat posts and stems, Vans, the trickest race kit..................oh I remember it like it was yesterday.
