He was entertaining.

I'd just point out in response to the comment about Sandy Wallace being shut for some time, that I used them in November to overhaul my own bike." Thanks again, everyone. 14Westfield on "Fifers- Bike shops" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19532#post-303764 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 00:54:17 +0000 14Westfield 303764@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Ryan is shut every Monday - he’s a shop and we like shopping on Saturdays. So needs some time off.. The sandy Wallace post sale split is ‘fairly’ well known too - there are business cards branded Ryan cycle device with Sandy Wallace on them! Very much recommend for general service and especially wheel trues. chdot on "Fifers- Bike shops" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19532#post-303763 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 00:10:09 +0000 chdot 303763@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ “they are normally closed on a Sunday and Monday“ Yes - <a href="https://www.ryansbikesurgery.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.ryansbikesurgery.com</a> “Sandy Wallace himself has been supporting him since he set up.” Something to do with new owners of now closed shop not continuing to employ employee. (Allegedly) “Dave in Aberdour - always get good service and advice” Not used myself, but know satisfied customers and have seen/heard him give advice (impressed).

I have told the original inquirer to look at this thread. paddyirish on "Fifers- Bike shops" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19532#post-303759 Mon, 25 Mar 2019 23:21:12 +0000 paddyirish 303759@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ AFAIK Ryan's is still in business I bought pedals from him 2 weeks ago. Sandy Wallace himself has been supporting him since he set up. Seconded re Dave in Aberdour - always get good service and advice Deliver Spokes leaflets to Singletrack Bikes in Abbeyview as well, but when I went to Bike Scotland in Malcolm St in Dunfermline for the same reason, it has disappeared in the last few months too. chrisfl on "Fifers- Bike shops" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19532#post-303758 Mon, 25 Mar 2019 23:08:50 +0000 chrisfl 303758@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Just looking at updating OpenStreetMap, Sandy Wallace was marked as closed some time ago. We still have Ryans in OSM; and their social networking seemed to be active on Saturday and I note that they are normally closed on a Sunday and Monday. Are we sure they are completely shut? Baldcyclist on "Fifers- Bike shops" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19532#post-303757 Mon, 25 Mar 2019 22:48:32 +0000 Baldcyclist 303757@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ For repairs, Dave's bike shed in Aberdour. Dave is a top bloke. Shame about Sandy Wallace, I know the owner (previous?), by childminder of all unusual coincidence. Hardie bikes in Caineyhill too. There's also another bike shop in Dunfermline whose name escapes me. Leslie bike shop further east in Glenrothes. acsimpson on "Fifers- Bike shops" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19532#post-303755 Mon, 25 Mar 2019 22:31:57 +0000 acsimpson 303755@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ I have used Planet Velo in Dunfermline for sundry purchases and emergency servicing and have always been impressed. They are a few miles further north than Inverkeithing but only a couple of stops on the train.

"Took Bike to Sandy Wallace today for minor repair: tragedy - they're shuttered up with a to let sign. No sign of life at Ryan's across the road either. " Anywhere else
