    Hi Guys,

    I'm building up a new bike and I'm looking for someone in Kerry who would have the necessary skills and tools to fit a groupset, including a press fit bottom bracket. I tried a local bike shop but they said they would only fit it if they ordered the groupset themselves. I'm getting a price from them but it could work out a bit too expensive.

    Anybody know someone who could help?

    Denis O Shea of Big Little Big Shop.
    Good mechanic with keen prices. I don't believe you will go wrong with him.
    Another recommendation.

    Cheers lads,

    The only thing I'd be worried about is that they wouldn't be willing to fit the groupset unless i bought it from them like the other bike shop I went to, but I guess if they could supply it at a competitive price than its fine. I was more looking for a good DIY mechanic...

    Denis O'Shea is still your man ... he has a workshop behind the house in Killarney, it's not a shop like you are thinking. Just give him a call.
