    Just noticed a new bike shop where Oddbins used to be in Clontarf. Best of luck to them...

    Nice to see prices for repairs


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,738 ✭✭✭✭Squidgy Black


    Looks great, they should get some good business where they are, even just repairs or small bits from people going up and down the coast road.

    Called in the other day, real nice guy and free nespresso :-) Its the tall guy that worked in Donaghmede shop for a bit, they stock Bianchi, Merida and i think Scott, only just starting to fill it but real nice guy and place

    They are also doing BMC. And it is the guy from the Donaghmede shop alright. Really good guy - knows his stuff, efficient and always gives good advice. Shop is just open and is still taking shape but already it looks busy. Great location on one of the busiest cycling routes in the country. And the coffee (free) is really good!

    Good to see new places opening

    Ideally located on the bit of the coast road where you have to pass by their door. Hope it goes well for them.

    Top lads (no pun intended), just phoned looking to replace a tyre and even though they didn't have the one I wanted, the chap I talked to was very helpful and mentioned they are open until 8pm each evening and do walk-in repairs up until that time....

    ......worth remembering if ever you're stuck commuting!

    Just got two of my bikes serviced here, only wanted to get one done but they did it so well i dropped in my MTB. Really good job and friendly staff. That will not be the last they see of me. They open till 8 Mon-Sat and 11-6 on Sunday. Epic hours. Thanks again lads.

    I've been back a few times with different bikes and problems, always so sound in dealing with them, and most the stuff in there seems like very good value compared to lots of other Dublin shops i've been in. Keep it up lads!

    Their prices for services are very confusing on the website lol.

    As per all of the above comments dropped my bike in here today for a repair and was very happy. Very sound lads working there and offer great advice. Late opening hours too which is an added bonus. I will definitely be back.

    They're awesome, so helpful and generous with advice. Top bicycle shop indeed!

    One of the senior guys in the shop is in our club and is happy to hear the feedback. Himself, his brother and his father are very experienced cyclists at all levels.
    I really hope it works for them as he now has a nespresso addiction to feed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,088 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez


    They're my primary "go-to" guys in Dublin now. Used to be Cycleways.

    They take a genuine interest in giving you advice whether or not you asked for it. Very informative altogether :)

    Was looking at a merida here, had it for half hour test ride along coast road (rather than car park) but was offered it for day if i wanted to try howth hill.
    1 years free servicing after purchasing bike they said.....
    BTW scheme here i come
    Didnt get a coffee though : (

    I've only ever popped in for tubes and the like (may have bought overtrousers there too) but would also add that they're consistently helpful and friendly. Definitely come across as knowledgeable and plenty of practical experience & advice to pass on.
