I live in Morley and only just discovered that Garage Bikes folded in 2019! I know, but I don't go down Fountain St very often. :blush:
Any recommendations for a good place in the area - for servicing, repairs and parts rather than bike sales?

DML are decent; I've bought bits off him and he's on local rides a lot. Not one I use but has a good reputation locally. They're probably the closest to you.

Leeds Urban Bike Park now does repairs in Middleton.

Also there's Hargreaves Cycles in Dewsbury who do repairs.

I use Sowerby Bros Cycles in Mirfield as they're linked to my club and have supported son no. 2.

How much does a full bike build cost supplying all parts?

£50 per hour. I would expect approximately 2 hours for a competent mechanic not rushing it.
I remember someone saying a big store worker did 10 bikes a day!

Cables are included in a bought groupset. £50 an hour is a lot. That’s like car mechanic money.

Certainly not down here!
The £50 doesn’t only cover wages but all the overheads for the shop plus margin.

If it’s too much, just do the work yourself. Depends if you think your time is worth less than that (all assuming you have the skill set)
