Where is "best" showroom within 20 mile radius of Warrington?

[Dave7]

I should have said "showrooms" (plural) but can't find how to change thread title.

Looking for a good hybrid-my LBS (who are very helpful) only had 2 makes (Giant & GT) that I could actually sit on. The nearest 'national chain' had Scott & Cannondale........neither of which excited me much. Then there is Halfords but I'm not inclined to buy from them.
I am going to Wynstanley's @ Wigan on Friday but they tell me that although they stock 1000's of bikes they are mainly in a warehouse-not put together so I'm not optomistic.
Any advice appreciated-thanks.

Evans @ The Chill Factor-e has just been extended and is now, I am told, their biggest store.

Winstanleys have earned themselves a bit of a reputation for not actually holding much of the stock they are claiming to sell and there have been a few cases of people paying for goods that never materialise then having to jump through hoops to get a refund (I speak from personal experience here!)

Just be careful.

+1 for Leisure Lakes at Bury.

Always seem to hae lots of kit in the store, and the staff are pretty decent too.

Thanks-they are the "national chain" I refered to (think they're national??)
They had Scott & Cannondale........neither of which excited me much-but TBH the guy didn't even offer to get one of them off the rack so I didn't even get to touch them-so I'm going purely off appearance.

I went there yesterday (Friday) and they are HUGE!!! Almost too many choices. Nice people and helpful but on the models I could compare they were no cheaper than my LBS.
