Update: My other (expensive! £3k road bike) developed a creak; I noticed that a few wheel spokes were loose. Gave Scotts Cycles a call, popped down that afternoon with the wheel and Peter trued the wheel right away - even provided me with insight on how wheels are trued and went into detail of wheel building patterns etc. Brilliant. A tenner later - all sorted. Great guy!
Original Review:
Having bought a fancy bike from a fancy boutique, and after it having its 6 week service, the gear changes did not feel right.
Rather than taking a longish journey to the boutique store I decided to try Scotts Cycles instead.
The store is borderline nostalgic, a complete contrast to any boutique. But don't let this put you off!
Peter was very helpful, he said he would attempt to correct my gears and if he was unsuccessful he would not charge me, even though I offered to at least pay for his time. Assuming he could fix the problem he would charge £5.00.
A few hours later he called to say that the work was complete.
Peter really did do his best to complete the same day, something which I am grateful for as this is my commuter bike.
An honest, straight speaking gentleman who will not try to rip you off. His advice is sound and I fully recommend.

Went in to buy a new bike and the chap has explained all my available options and.took the time to explain the pros.and.cons.of.all the bike.types, the shop.is small.but the Guy knows his.stuff and.you.leave knowing how your bike broke as well as a reasonable.price on how to fix it.. I don't agree with the negative reviews, I've always found the chap to tell it like it is not beat around a bush. I've always gone to Scotts cycles.for.mybikes and repairs.and unlike red kite cycles where they are just sales men, you get a good quality service and have a.produce that. lasts

This guy is super helpful. I think people may be confusing arrogance or unfriendliness with just someone who may not be the most sociable of people or perhaps is mildly autistic.
However I've been in here many times and providing you're willing to develop a relationship with the guy and work with him then he's a real jewel. And besides, you don't go there for a chat, do you? You go there to buy stuff and to get your bike fixed. And that's what he's good at.
