Bank View Cafe-Langsett,Sheffield.



AKA The Spotty Cafe after it's KOM paint job for the 2014 TDF Grand Depart this great little place is right on the edge of the Peak District and situated close to some of the best Road and MTB trails in the area

The food is good(Breakfast portions are HUGE) but it does get very busy at weekends!

I've had hit and miss service from Planet-X.
I live 7 miles from either the Rotherham or Barnsley stores so have always picked up anything I've ordered online but still had problems.
I ordered a RT-58 a couple of years ago and was given a one week turn around.I then got an email saying it would be a week late.I telephoned them explaining I was going away the day after the new pick-up date and was taking the bike so need them to confirm it was a definite.They confirmed but on the day I was to pick it up I got a call saying it wasn't built.After some arguing and after threats to cancel the order they agreed to build it that day and I collected it that evening.Had I been a postal customer I would not have received my bike in time It also meant that any niggles would have to be sorted on the holiday as the bike was 8 days late.
This is just one incident from many and despite them being the main sponsor of our CC,cheap and local I no longer use them.

Hello

Sheffield.

Steel Worker.

After 30 odd years of messing around on Mountain Bikes and the odd dabble on the road I sold my MTBs last year and decided to give Road riding a proper go and joined a couple of local CCs.

My son (8) has just got his first Road/CX bike (Frog67 Team Sky livery) and has really got the cycling bug,he too is a member of a local CC and is looking to do a bit of CX racing
