SportsBikeShop Norwich - coming soon...!

[siwhite]

Having been to Infinity twice - and left disappointed on each occasion - this is good news!

Combined with a dirty lunch in the covered market, this will probably become a regular run for me...

That is good news @siwhite if a little threatening to the wallet....

I'm not very good at Navigating around Norwich, do you know where they are going to be located? I can't suss it out from pic above...

Thanks @siwhite . I reckon both nearest shops for me are currently 90 miles in either direction. Mind you, with next day delivery (one just arrived here in East Suffolk) it's only clothing I'd need to visit for.

That arrow looks to be roughly Unthank Road area, but my guess would be on the ring road in that vicinity.

No idea - I think the pic above refers to Norwich in general rather than a specific spot. Hopefully somewhere in the south so it's closer to me!

No East side, if it’s close to the proposed Costco, it could prove a really expensive shopping expedition!

Keep us informed

We need one down in the Deep South, somewhere like Portsmouth.
I travelled up to Reading to try on some kit and what an utter ball ache of a journey… not far, just horrible.

Looks like it is probably going into ex Harley dealer building

The one on Ber Street ?

Next to infinity then, good planning.

I wonder if Infinity will be able to stay trading with SBS next door?

 

[GADGET]

Competition always a good thing!

Top points to @MarkShelley this image shows the building that was Lind Hardly-Driveable on Ber Street. Be curious to see if they got the BMW half of the building too.

Google also shows it in Bar Street - and there is this blurb:

"Sportsbikeshop Norwich is our tenth retail store and opens in early 2025. There will be an unrivalled selection of brands on offer on the shop floor with further sizing available back of house. Think of it as a shoe shop concept! You can also order into store from the colossal choice of the Sportsbikeshop website, and providing your items are in stock, they'll be delivered to store for you to 'try on or buy' by lunchtime tomorrow, 7 days a week."

Had breakfast in the Ber Street Cafe on Wednesday (opposite the new store) and it looks like its coming on a treat, the outside is branded up already. They have as suggested taken the old Harley unit, supprised they have not taken the BMW unit as well to be honest (maybe later!!)

Loooks good though.

Got to say I’ve spent quite a bit with SBS over the past two years and they’ve come up trumps each time.
Both their branch service and online help have been first rate.
Good on them. They must be doing something right.

 

[Gavla04GS]

Opens next week….

 

[L2RKE]

Well I may have to check it out. Cheers Gav.

Is that the old Lind BMW and HD site?
