Bike Shops in Newcastle or Durham

[Dogg]

Evening everyone,

I live in Colchester but am currently at Durham University so i'm wondering what local shops here or in Newcastle are worth a visit?

I'd be looking at getting sized up and potentially purchasing a road bike

Cheers

Edinburgh cycles

Or Westbrook, but more Middlesbrough

To note, It's rather frowned upon to use an lbs for sizing and advice, and then buy elsewhere

Google brings up a bunch more, including infinity and Dave heron

Start cycles in the city centre is large decent, and you've got Evans at the metrocentre just outside the actual centre

Infinity isn't far from the uni iirc I phoned them up once when my cleats broke and I needed to get home and they were the nearest according to google they seemed alright but I was a pound off a set of cleats and they couldn't help me out

Infinity now have a Cube specialist shop upstairs from their other shop, which sells Focus, Ridley etc. Good selection of bikes & still some 2013 sale bargains.
Metro also has Cycle Surgery as well as Evans.

KB at Newburn is another proper bike shop.

CCers may recall this was the place that held a genuine sale after flooding/subsidence caused part of their building to collapse.

Another shout for KB Cycles.

Also Cycle Logical in Forest Hall is very good. I don't know of a bad bike shop in Newcastle, to be honest.

If you're on a budget or after cheap spares, check out http://www.recyke-y-bike.org

If you go the Halford's route for stuff, swerve the one in the city centre. Team Valley and Silverlink branches are much better.

As for a proper shop, KB Cycles or Cycle Logical is your best bet.

Was gonna suggest Strawberry Cycles in Peterlee but it's a roadie you're after so never mind!
