    Hi all - I am not sure if this has already been posted, but there is a new cycling shop in D15. It's run by 2 experienced guys from shops in town ( can't remember which ones so I won't name )
    It's about time D15 had a proper bike shop. For those who know the area, it's across from the Seat dealer, beside Superquinn.

    I visited the shop yesterday and dropped up my fixie to resolve that crazy clicking sound.
    The shop is very new and still a bit bare but they are bringing in more bikes and accessories as they go along. they already have the essencials up on the shelves.

    I was speaking to one of the 2 owners, who used to managed the cyclesuperstore and build wheels. He seems very knowlegable.

    I will comment more later on after I pick up my fixie.

    I can confirm that the two guys in CycleZone are experienced, and enthusiasts.

    The fellow Caroline.ie is referring to is Justin, a very experienced mechanic, and the person who taught me most of what I know about bike mechanics in Cycleways a fair few years ago (road, track and vintage stuff especially). I cannot say a bad word about him (except that he never dropped back my park allen set I lent him on his last day at CSS, but that only gives me an excuse to drop into his new shop:)).

    The other fellow is Gary, who has worked in (and managed) Cycleways for most of his days in the bike industry. He has a better business head than Justin, so hopefully they can turn their fledgeling shop into an established one, and not go under when the B2W bubble bursts.

    I wish them the best of luck, and hope they can get the shop to where they want to take it.
