I'll give it a shottie again at some other point. Maybe. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1278#post-11780 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 12:55:44 +0000 recombodna 11780@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Take you dueling gloves back BRM and "demand satisfaction" How are you getting on with the fixed gear riding? Lost the urge to coast yet? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1278#post-11776 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 10:16:07 +0000 kaputnik 11776@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>for the record thebikechain was - alas - not one of my visited establishments as I was working in a spiral outwards from home. Had I failed at BRM, needles to say I would have recieved satisfactionat TBC. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1278#post-11775 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 09:07:32 +0000 thebikechain 11775@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Our winter stock arrived last Friday.

I've never had a prob with BCR but don't get me started on bike shops........heh heh! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1278#post-11760 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 15:14:34 +0000 ARobComp 11760@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'd just started riding and had no idea what was wrong with the bloody thing. My dad had given me the bike and it seemed fine to me apart from a weird shake in the back wheel. Took it to them they claimed it was fine and charged me £15. Took it to the bike coop and they looked at it and said "bent axle" gave me a spare one and lent me the tool to replace it. </p> <p>They also sell inner tubes for an extortionate rate. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1278#post-11718 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 12:53:58 +0000 recombodna 11718@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You didn't notice the bent axle yourself?? boo to that...;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1278#post-11717 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 12:44:31 +0000 ARobComp 11717@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>boo to the bicycle repair man for being overpriced and also failing to notice I had a bent axle. Admitedly this was 5 years ago and I've held the grudge. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1278#post-11690 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 15:56:40 +0000 kaputnik 11690@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>To stock waterproof overshoes in a full range of sizes (particularly anything not XXS or XXL) - according to the first 5 bicycle shops in Edinburgh that I sampled today.</p> <p>I ended up having to point out at the 4th shop that the "season" for waterproof overshoes in Scotland generally runs from 1st January through to 31st December.</p> <p>Hurrah for the Bicycle Repair Man who stocks a full range of sizes and flavours </p>
