I was looking up an address on Brighton Road and saw this huge show. Is it worth 20 minutes of my time looking round ?

I used to go there as a kid, and although a lot of BSO's on there website. SOME of there stock speaks differently and the service is fantastic. but if your in croydon, Evans in west croydon is very good. but if you want real service, then Georffy butler just down the road towards croydon is amazing for road bikes, and bike plus the other way towards purely is best for hybrids and mountain bikes.

Quite possible the worst "bike" shop on the planet.

Nick Thake, the owner of Cycle King, and Hawk Cycles focuses on the budget end of the market.totallyfixed said:
Financially he is probably the most successful man in the cycle trade, he makes most of his own bikes, is his own wholesaler and retailer, so in effect he makes them, distributes them and sells them. If I’m correct, most if not all his 28 outlets across England are freehold and paid for, as are his warehouses and factories, I have been to one of his warehouses, his stock holding is absolutely huge, it needs to be as he sells in huge quantities.
You will be amazed how many bikes stores who focus on that market sell, Halfords are the same, on one level I have to take my hat off to them
