[dan_bo]

Another one gone. Shame.

 

[Hacienda71]

@400bhp will be sad.

 

[400bhp]

Whaaaatt Seriously?

Any proper news on this?

 

[dan_bo]

It was quite ambitious for it's location, has to be said. Shame though all the same. Must have had a poor chrimbo.

What is the average life span of one of Dan's bikes?

 

[dan_bo]

Websites down, was informed on me club forum. Was in there a few weeks ago as well.

My tree smashing rate has dropped considerably I'll have you know.

 

[400bhp]

Good people in there, but like many, their parts, clothing and accessories were way overpriced.

They must have sunk a lot of money into the shop a few years ago as it looked brand spanking new when i bought my bike 2 years ago.

 

[400bhp]

I think @GrumpyGregry has a bike from there too?

 

[fossyant]

Oh bugger. Mandy and Nige - both rather good cyclists in their times !

Surosa are a well known bike shop in the NW (Manchester area).

Looks like they've ceased trading.

 

[fossyant]

Gone bust/stopped trading. It's a North West Bike shop run by two very good cyclists from the 80's/early 90's.

I rode with Nige when he put his Time metal cleat through the side of a VW as it tried to knock him off (after his Kelloggs Tour wins) in Hazel Grove just before the Rising Sun (local meet up even today) . Shame my club mate was a copper that was with us.... Told the driver to do one !

i will remember that with the cleat, i should be able to at least put a nasty scratch or dent!

Not advisable unless you have a copper on a bike with you (even off duty). It's criminal damage, but as said car clearly tried to side swipe him (with at least 5 cyclists with him) I suppose it was OK.
