Fabulous service and staff really know their products which is great!\n\nDefinitely the place to come for all things bike related. It is also much bigger and warren like than you think as it has taken me 3 visits to get the layout of the shop in my head.\n\nI saw a bike online after trying to find out about the bike to work scheme. Our scheme had closed but I had noticed that our previous official supplier had been EBC so I had a look around their website and saw a fab bike on sale, with about 50% off. Given that it was a sunny day and I had been wistfully staring out of the window, wishing I was out on a bike, then a quick phonecall to EBC confirmed they had two bikes that I was looking at in stock/could view and I could potentially try that night.\n\nSo, I went to look at bikes and I bought one. If they have it in stock then you will have the option of even trying before you buy so taking it out on a test ride. The bike I bought was not 'in stock' as it was waiting on another customer collecting it, but I was still able to sit on it and check the sizing to help me decide if I wanted to order it. \n\nThey can order in bikes really quickly and it is worth getting your accessories fitted at the same time - mudguards, racks, etc as it is free fitting when you get it all done when they are building the bike. They were also able to fit my D-lock to the bike too as given the spec of my bike, this was recommended for insurance purposes. Honestly, I was a bit clueless about this and was basically like 'I know bikes get nicked a lot in Edinburgh so what's the best lock to try and prevent this and do you know how insuring the bike will work?' and they were so good at explaining it all to me and not taking the piss because I was a girl. I was able to collect my bike less than a week later as it came into the store really quickly. The guys in store also helped me pick out a new helmet (price range from \u00a330+) and advised on fit and lightness. I ended up back a third time to get a jacket. Again as the store is a bit warren like, I hadn't realised that they have a fab range of ladies clothing in the back of the store. It really is very good and this was the fourth bike shop I had been to that day in search of a jacket when I should have come back here first. \n\nSo - this would be my first port of call now for anything bike related and I have already recommended them to loads of other people too as the service is THAT good!
