Bianco2564 Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 Going to Chester for a bit of Xmas shopping,any decent bike shops in the area worth a visit for clothing and accessories? Quote
rennie Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 Used to be Bill Smith's on the outskirts on the A41 (I think)Haven't been for ages! might not even still be there Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 Bill Smiths is still there. They have two places - their Honda place which is on the outskirts on the A41 and their main store which is where they sell clothing, accessories etc which is nearer the city centre. If you Google the address you'll find it. There's a car park there as well which is handy.There's also J&S at Delamere which isn't far away. Quote
Beansie Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 Bill smiths is always worth a stop off when passing Chester, during the summer there was a catering van too, not sure if it’s there at the moment. Although if your after clothes and accessoires J&S Northwhich is massive and the food is even better. Can’t think of any more of the top of my head. Quote
Bianco2564 Posted December 15, 2018 Author Posted December 15, 2018 Ok so tried to get to the city centre branch of Bill Smith's last night but got swept along in the rush hour traffic in the wrong lane and to get back to it was a hassle.On the way home we went to J&S and bought a pair of gloves.Vast choice of kit in there.

The traffic over the past two days has been horrendous. Complete gridlock at some parts of the day. J&S is pretty well stocked and the staff there are always helpful. Quote

Beansie Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 Bill smiths is definitely a blink and you’ll miss it kind of place. That Elliot’s field place is awful I fitted all the security doors on the rear of the units, constant call outs from staff breaking doors by wedging them open or ramming their trolleys into them constantly!

Wow thats some distance to travel to fix some doors!I apologise on behalf of my fellow Rugbeians for being so careless Quote
