Don't be silly Colin it's the Northern Quarter, not the northern quarter!

Apparently they've taken the local surly franchise frem bicycle doctor.


Oooh the intrigue.

Fab shop that has just been open by two really enthusiastic cyclists. Rich is a brilliant mechanic as well.

Nice to see a new shop opening.
But is this trend for calling an area a 'quarter' new? Just seems pretentious to me, Liverpool has them, too.

It got called the northern quarter after the 96 bomb refurb. Best thing that happened to the town that.

Has gentrification reached all the way up Oldham street or is it still full of run down or empty shops in the upper reaches ?

They're from Bike Doctor originally, I think.

They're nice people, I been chatting to them on twitter occasionally, innit.

It's improving greatly - dive off Oldham street (to the right if heading out from Piccadilly). Still a bit rough, but getting there. Been a few times with 'the lads' on nights out - some real pubs etc - some a bit of an 'experience'.

Nah, we've only got the 'one' Quarter !!!!

It's NE of Piccadilly, and as Dan says it's come on after the bomb. Some good pubs out there !

Called in there today - nice bikes, not a great deal of accessories but run by friendly and knowledgeable people. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.
