Report
Brilliant on the spot assistance today from Jamie. My disc brakes left me in the lurch yesterday so I turned up as a 'walk in' at Baker St bikes this morning asking for help to get me safely back on the road. Jamie very quickly and efficiently sorted me without batting an eyelid. Very grateful for that, Jamie ! Fantastic, no nonsense bike service and repair shop. I've used Baker St twice in the past and have always been impressed by their work. I look forward to the full service later in the month... cheers Jamie !
