Don't bother going to Hein Gericke in Bradford.

[kawakid]

On the way to Mothercare (don't ask), I thought i'd call in.

Its shut down.

Nearest one is now Leeds, (feck that).

Ahh well, can only blame the internet.

Looks like i'll have to get all my stuff at the NEC .

Wasn't their Bradford store where they sold off the end-of-line and other stuff off cheaper? Remember going to find it a few years back. Can't say I was impressed by the savings. Pokey little store from what I remember, but Hein Gericke ones generally are (anyone being to the York one ).

Sad really as I like Hein Gericke stuff. I find it's generally well made, lasts and fits. The downside is you have to try the clothes for size and their web site is non-existent for ordering stuff.

It shut down a month or 2 back which is just typical. It's been open for years and then it shuts down 2 days before i was going there to buy some stuff for the first time. The Leeds branch isn't too far though and for all the little things BFM 5 mins up the road in Shipley is cheap'ish and has most things in stock.

The Taunton Hein Gericke store is quite big actually.

I have bought plenty of stuff from the york hein gericke. Its small but the staff are decent there. Plus its easy to find being on blossom street.

The Cardiff HG is a big one but I haven't been back there, nor do I intend to since one of the staff insulted me lol.

He came in from the carpark and said to his colleague "Some moron's actually locked up their Diversion out back".

I said "That's mine."

"Why'd you lock it up? No one's going to try stealing that heap, hahaaha."




Screw that HG.

HG means though you can go in try on then go buy online , I don't like buying online for this very reason , I can get Cabergs the cop version for £115 but can't try them on as nobody stocks them.

I seen you mentioned BMC. That's where i bought my bike & whenever I go back I just haggle prices on gear with them, give it a shot. The more you buy at one time, the more you save.

PS on gear ask for Chez Junior

Chester HG is fairly large, but I still go to J&S Northwich for all but the most urgently needed stuff. Better value for money, and wider range to choose from. For tyres, I go to demon tweeks in Wrexam. Very good fitting service and competitive prices!
