Lakes Bike Bling

We have been over to the Lakes for a short break as its the school holiday week. This is Part 1 - bike bling, Part 2 non bike bling will follow.
We called in past a few bikes shops when we were over there inc some new ones. Keswick bikes is back open and operating as normal after being flooded out. Bike Treks in Ambleside is now mainly all mtb. Ghyllside Cycles in full of fat and semi fat gear - just what I like!(check out his van photo below). Push Cartel has expanded their floor space by approx 50% and now do a bike fitting service. As ever the bling in there is top notch dollar and in unreal. Bike Treks have also opened up a new road shop at Ings, all very new and swanking with clothing upstairs and bikes / workshop downstairs. They have some new brands in - Open, Storck & Mason / Hunt inc the regular Scott, Specialized etc. Wheelbase have also had a slight refurb knocking out the changing room and wc on the ground floor and there is a bike fitting room up stairs in the road section. As ever they have a massive selection of everything biking!

Would be much nicer with 650b x 2" wheels / tyres fitted

Brown looks even worse in real life (not my cuppa tea)

Mason frame has beautiful welds / finish. They also have some Hunt wheelsets

Biketreks @ Ings

The paint finish on the 2017 dale full sus 27.5+" is beautiful

Not long before the 11-32 / long cage set comes out !

Massive clearance this year on the Dale Super X Hi Mod's

The Slates are in the sale, same as 2016 but rrp has gone up £300


Think the Ultegra rrp went up £200ish
