Post by: Shings on August 30, 2007, 06:24 PM

First up....

Dunno if anyone knows them but Sprocket Cycles- in Alison St, Digbeth.   The guy in there was really helpfull and quite knowledgable of old skool stuff.. recounting stories of people who used to ride TRM's back in the day.
Good service and good prices!
54 Allison Street, Digbeth, Birmingham, B5 5TH
01216330731
OPEN 10.00 - 16.00 on WED, THURS, FRI and SAT only.


Second...

JH Cycles in Ward End/Washward Heath/Stechford (on the oldskool 55 route) area. Got a few bits for my rebuild from there and the guy was really helpfull and prices were ok. Proper old stylee shop - I'm back in there tomorrow for a chain.

If you've got money to spend in Birmingham I certainly think its worth checkin both of these peeps out.

Yeah, the guy at sprocket is alright, used to race he did.

Hes a bit funny with "mates rates" though, they aint none! -lol.

Its a good little place though next to a organic cafe,

He sells a few cool bits too like COLOURED bmx chains.

Its also a good place to pick up a retro shopper/commuter as he sells cool secondhand bikes on behalf of a charity which provides cycle mechanic training for people with difficulties.

- he doesnt get anything for doing that, so he must be a good egg.

Just seen your reply..

The guy at sprocket has tange head locks coming out of his ears.. there were a few bits that looked good- as for JH but neither shops are really the sort of rumage around type shops.

The guy at JH kept kicking himself everytime I mentioned how much stuff was worth- he'd thrown shit loads out recently.
