Yeh Stetchford Cycles was the biz, always remember loads of us riding there during school holidays, TRMs :smitten:. I think there was another shop called H Cycles? along Bordesley Green, a small shop, but had some neat stuff.

Halfords these days do a good range of parts, Diamond Back related bits, can pick up decent  BBs and headsets for your old/midschool at cheap prices ;)

I think MCS Magnum (Mike) currently works in a cycle shop ::)

Paul :)

It was called H Craig cycles Aero, always popped in on the way to wheels BITD. Used to knock about with the Turnbulls, Derek Owens and Steve Bell who all rode for Stechford Cycles and did a bit of part time messing about in the shop on various occasions. Bought my first bike there, ET Kuwahara and Steve who run the shop sponsored our club shirts. If it wasnt for that shop half the kids in brum would have never got on a BMX,

Cheers,

Nearly.... I work for a bike parts importer..... so spend my days talking to guys in bike shops..... after 18 years working as an industrial chemist I packed it in to do something fun.....

Shit pay though, and sadly mostly road and mtb related goodies at our place....
