We never really had a shop as such, there was a guy in a massive van used to drive about (mobile shop) and show us on his warez lol. Used to be ram packed with decent stuff and his son had the best bike around by us, TA loaded with everything lucky git. That guy used to drive all around hertfordshire and essex so probably took a good few quid. Bit I remember the most was all the mushroom grips in all those colours, superb
They had a Raleigh specialist in Hatfield which is still there now and wasnt much good so we used to jump on the train to Stevenage to visit Custom Riders, was a much smaller shop than it is now and Mason had hair!!!
Hot wheels and Strongs cycles, both were in Bournemouth and used to take their shops to the race meetings which was handy.Local shop in Southampton which we only used for an emergency were Peter Williams. This was actually a motor bike shop but he did a few decent BMX parts.
HOTSHOT. First it was about 8 miles from me and we'd cycle there (on BMXs) just to LOOK at stuff. Then it moved to a bigger shop that is right next to where I live now. Shame HOTSHOT went ages ago. I used to love it in there.
