Willy Bain's
Bicycle Repair Company, known as Willy Bain's: LCP 2nd
359 Pollokshaws Road Glasgow, G41 1QT Tel: 0141 423 9010
Grumpiness rating: Low
On entering this small shop one is struck by the staggering use of space. Every square inch of wall is covered in stock, and some hangs from the ceiling, amazingly it is all sensibly arranged and even a normal bike rider would be able to find things.
Most of the floor area is covered in bikes awaiting repair, or collection after repair. These are carefully placed upright in racks. The back room, where any self respecting member of the LCP will head for immediately and without permission, is disappointingly well organised, without any interesting piles of stuff to rummage through.
Willy is a Brooks "Dealer of Quality" and keeps a good stock of the only saddle worth having. In 2016 he was put into "special measures" after permitting someone to purchase a green B17.
