Recommend LBS near Sudbury/Haverhill ?

[TheLurker]

Neighbour is being posted (or whatever it is they do to official $Deity botherers when they shift them to another parish; transmigration? transubstitution? I dunno) to somewhere in the Sudbury/Haverhill (Suffolk/Essex) neighbourhood and having just resumed cycling he will need access to a reliable LBS to cosset his 30 year old bike. 

Any suggestions that I can pass along to him?

I have a mate in Foxearth who uses a LBS, or rather a workshop that he praises. I'll text him and see what it's called.

I'll be Bach...

I'm guessing that would be The Cycle Clinic at Glemsford. A number of YACFers use this establishment...

That looks perfect.  I think he's going to be in Clare so that'll be less than 5 miles.

Blimey, _two_ recommendations!  And there's me thinking the wild wild east is an howling wasteland bereft of all that might comfort the cyclist in his (or her) hour of need. 

Thanks folks.

Are Lifecycle still at Bildeston? I've ridden one or two Audaxes that started opposite, but never made it in the door, so I can't recommend them as such, but they looked worth a visit.

Yes they are but I would not recommend them.

All three mentioned above are excellent. I think there is a bike shop in Haverhill too - I have a Strava mate there; I'll check. Clare is a lovely place; I'm sure your neighbour will love it there. Beautiful countryside to ride in.

Yep, that's the one...

Aerocycles is the Haverhill shop, and they seem to be well-regarded. But Malcolm at Cycle Clinic is probably the best for old bike TLC.
