Bike Mechanic

TestTransmission

Looking for a decent bike mechanic in or around the city/Ennis road area.
If I could stay away from the Bike Shop that would be best.Any recommendations?

We have a bike shop just opened on campus at UL with a full time mechanic Chris. Not your side of the city, but IIRC you are working out this way.

There seems to be a new bike shop getting ready to open on the Shelbourne road where the shop used to be beside St Camillus'. I passed it at a few times on my walk, dont have too much info, not sure is it selling bikes/doing repairs but it did say on window "bike shop opening soon" Somebody else reading this might have some more info!

Ive mostly passed there after 5 pm and there has always been someone in there, so might be worth tapping on the window. good luck

Are you involved in this ninety9er? Seeing as they are selling Niner bikes?
Fair play to a new crowd opening up with some brands other than the standard Irish bike shop brands.
