For components and accessories, Merlin are often have a good range, and for the truly esoteric stuff SJS cycles seem to be the go to place.

Not looking a spending too much in case it’s a fad and also the main roads would terrify me but we have some nice country Roads I could go on. Any hints and tips would be welcome thanks
