sadbrewer Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I moved to Mexborough in the 80's and Pete's shop was an institution...although my biking days were virtually over by then so I never met him myself. I have a mate who was a regular...keep an eye on the forum and I'll try and post something if I can get in touch with him. The shop was a hair salon last time I noticed.

Not really, its just that he used to live very close to me, and in used to call in there a lot for my spare parts, one day i saw he had a bike inside that i fancied and didnt have enough money, he told me to take it and bring the rest in next week, he was amazed when i turned up with the money the week later and didnt have to come looking for me lol i always remember the old bikes that he used to have inside, they were not for sale though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
