Drayton Croft is one of those bike shops that is a throw back to how dealerships used to be before the manufacturers took over. Simple, welcoming, good for a browse and plenty to see and talk about.
The area around the shop isn't that salubrious, and parking needs to be close to the main drag in my opinion, but I do like the warmth of the shop, and the chatty helpful attitude from those working behind the counters here. Last time I was in, they were rolling out bikes for me, even though I made it pretty clear I was only passing and browsing.
If I am ever in the market for another bike I'll drop back and see them for sure. read more
