MC Cycles + Giant

Needing a new inner tube for my bike, seeing as I went through a ridiculous pot hole, I wandered into MC Cycles on Clarence Street desperately searching for a new tube for my barren tyre.
I sauntered around for a good ten minutes looking for the tube but could not locate that rubbery little sucker. I eventually gave up and approached the staff at the repair area.
Immediately I was handed the tube which was kept behind the counter with the mechanics. I took it to the counter and paid.
The shop has a lot of really cool looking bikes and plenty of accessories perched on the wall. There is minimal floor staff which works well when you are happy to have an uninterrupted browse, but if you need something specific which is not kept on the floor, it can be a little annoying.
This issue, however, is something remedied with a bit of initiative and a steady approach toward the counter.

No matter what kind of bike you’re looking for MC Cycles + Giant have probably got it. From classic vintage bicycles to fixed pedal bikes, portable folding bikes, road, mountain and race bikes. Apart from the Giant brand they also sell Surly and Masi bikes.
Though the gentleman (and he was gentle in a manly kind of way) pointed me to perhaps the most expensive bike in the shop when I told him what I wanted he also offered me a considerable discount on the children’s bike seat even though I’d only been in the shop for 5 minutes. Perhaps it was old stock or competition is tight with The Cyclery up the road but either way it was a generous offer (and one that I didn’t get up the road I might add).
My favourite thing about this shop is they annually co-​host the Sydney Tweed Ride. This group bicycle ride around Sydney encourages cyclists to dress in traditional British cycling attire in particular tweed plus four suits. Classic vintage bicycles are out in mass numbers so if you fancy yourself as a dapper gent or lady visit this quirky lot’s website.
