On the outskirts of Sudbury something is brewing, the start of a new
venture for Leighton Taylor and Ebru Sami. They are the Proud owners of
Sudbury’s much needed new independent cycle shop, Torque Bikes. Leighton and Ebs
are both keen cyclists with a passion for customer service and a simple aim of
offering great service at reasonable prices. Leighton is the man you'll see
wielding a spanner, he has years of experience in cycle repairs, customer service and an insatiable knowledge of all things bicycle
related, he is also a Cytech qualified technician with a fetish for quality
tools. This shows as I glance round his workshop which is loaded with shiny
tools for just about every job imaginable including. Cartridge bearing
servicing for frames, hubs and headsets, brake bleeding, wheel building and
everything in between. Located on Brundon Lane Industrial Estate it's ideally situated for the Sudbury cyclist, there is a Cafe next door which makes it a convenient place for a pit stop, weather your riding Valley walk on your tourer, hammering Ballingdon hill on your roadie or exploring some of Sudbury’s hidden gems on your mtb and need some spares or a repair whilst out.
Leightons knowledge of all things bike related shows by all the quality brands he's filled the shop with, from the likes of Shimano, Sram, Schwalbe and Dmr. He even has some 29er tyres for all you wagon wheelers out there. Not to mention the rather Blingin' range of freestyle scooters and accessories from Grit, For the Yoof!
So whether you own a high end Mountain, Road or Hybrid bike that requires some TLC, have an old bike in the shed you want sprucing up for the summer or your kids keep trashing their bikes, Why not pop along to Sudbury's newest bike shop and support an independent business.
I'm sure Leighton and Ebs will make you feel very welcome.
Oh and Barney.
