    Is it still in business does anyone know?

    Last posts on this here forum about it seemed to conclude the opening hours were along the lines of Brigadoon and communications with the shop were a bit like the Kling Klang studio.

    Chap at work lived near the owner as a youngster and used to help him out at the workshop. Wanted to know if he was still in business so he could drop by and say hello.

    I still say this is a joke perpetuated against the cycling noobs, as it looks like the last customer was the guy from the Yellow Pages ad.

    A friend of mine knows Neil Bain, so I could perhaps get a sitrep on the shop. As far as I know, the place is still in business, for very small and generally undefined values of 'in'.

    I still remember buying Tioga tyres there, pre-Bain, when it was Claymore Cycles. But I sort of gave up after it took a year for the Captain to not get some Suntour thumbies in for me.
