Went in for a suspected bottom bracket fixture, but he was honest - said it wasn't the issue and just tightened the pedals to stop that annoying clicking! Really appreciated not having to shell out on something not needed. :)
He also replaced two worn brake pads, the gear cables and a broken reflector. Quick turnaround, no fuss and reasonably priced.
Definitely would recommend Chris, certainly above the bigger stores - too many times I've had so-called mechanics fitting tyres the wrong way round.
I think he's also the only UK seller of the renowned VSF range (my bike is the T-700). Lots of interesting old vehicles in his store, including vintage Sunbeams that he's doing up.
Come on Chris, it is a simple question. Will you give me a written quote ?

This is an interesting response from the owner. He gets a review he doesn't like and rather than addressing the issues that prompted the bad review he resorts to name calling. This is probably more likely to put off potential customers than my original review! Yes, he is right, my visit to his shop was several years ago but that doesn't alter the fact that my description of what happened is 100% accurate.
His initial response was to question if I was a real person, so in effect denying that our exchange had even taken place. In the intervening time he has failed to answer the question about written quotes. Sorry Chris, I am going to leave the review here until you answer that simple question.

This is an interesting sales technique from the owner, name calling and thinly veiled threats along the lines of: 'come in to my shop if you have the guts!'
