Had all the top spec gear , I can remember getting
Some Christmas money , and going in there , and coming out
With a red set of tuff 2's , a pair of vdc monkey bars
And a pair of Oakley grips , was a magic moment
They were a bit gob smacked though when I took my Curtis back
After snapping it , gave me a new one , no problem
There still trading aswell I think

Obviously the same for me, however Rollermania (skateboards) changed it's name to Bikeology, and is still there today, however back as Rollermania.
Tony who ran it is still in contact with Fiola, and was behind the 'Hutch Team Tour' when they came to the UK.
Sean, can you remember 'Spec's' from the shop and a black called called Shane ?

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:
