4bes   10 #1 Posted January 18, 2007 Hi I have recently brought my mountain bike up from back home. I have never used it in Sheffield but was wondering if anyone could recommend a reliable bike shop I could use to get it looked over. It is in need of a few new bits and bobs i.e. new tyres, brakes etc. It is a Specialized bike, so a shop that stocks them might be helpful. I live on the University side of town so any shops near there would be preferable.  Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

There is of course J E James just off Queens Road, but the opinions of the cycling fraternity are a tad divided about the place......
