North Birmingham LBS recommendation?

[Cyclone_Scorpio]

Hi guys, after having an off last week and fracturing my elbow 🤦‍♂️ I need to get the bike checked over and just wondered if anyone had any recommendations for a good lbs for repairs near by. I live in Great Barr in north birmingham. I’ve seen a few in nearby Sutton Coldfield. But not a lot on the reviews front.
Cheers Guys all advice appreciated!

@BrumJim @kingrollo @Chris S are in Brum I think

Sorry, I'm in South Birmingham. I rarely go into North Birmingham, it might as well be a different city. Even the accent is slightly different.

Thanks for the nudge, @vickster . As Chris has said, North Birmingham is a different city. Not heard anything about that neck of the woods. Try 'Birmingham Cycling' group on Facebook?

On Your Bike was pretty good when they were in Digbeth. Now in Sutton Coldfield - Boldmere, your side.

To be honest @Cyclone_Scorpio, If you need the bike back asap, just call around accessible shops and see when they can fit you in. Most LBS are booked up a couple of weeks in advance fixing bikes that have made an appearance since lockdown, if not longer. See what vibe you get on the phone when you call - ie whether they sound helpful and willing! Not all will be open every day either due to Covid

Freedom Cycles in Lichfield have 4/5 on Google reviews for example.
Trikes & Bikes in Sutton Coldfield get 5/5 but not open until Wednesday

Not my neck of the midlands I'm afraid.

Cheers guys I did have a look at on your bike so will probably give them a bell. 👍
