OT - Anyone in Liverpool?
Turbo Mini Forums

Very off topic but I was wandering if anyone in Liverpool could see if if Pete Mathews Cycles is still in business, his address is:

58 Lower Breck Road, Liverpool, Merseyside L6 4BZ

And if so can you find out what his phone number is? the only number I can find on the net just goes to a recording telling me that the number is no longer valid.

Cheers

Rob

PS. It's nothing bad, it's just that I'm after some custom wheels and he's the best.

ill go and have a look over the weekend for you if i get time if not ill nip up during week.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

Cheers Carl

I think I remember the chap, perhaps. I enquired about a fancy spoke job on some 20" rims back in my racing days

did go on sat to see and at that address there is defo no cycle shop. but its still listed in the yellow pages and on some of the maps it looks like it could be just off that road, or round the back. theres also a breck road which my missus seems to fink it could be on that. ill try and go for another mooch but its a scarey place lol

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

Thanks Carl, I really appreciate you going round there, I'm guess the shops closed down. Shame, Pete Mathews had a good reputation.

Plenty of references to him on Google though - maybe try ringing as he may just have closed the shop but be still trading?
The number I found was 0151 263 1116

That's the same number I've got and it just goes to a recorded message, saying that the number is no longer available.

Quick up date: I've managed to get in touch with Pete Mathews, very pleasant chap, thanks for everyones help.

Excellent - is he still trading then?

I hope he's still trading as I've just sent him a cheque for some wheels.

I enquired about a front wheel similar to this http://www.instructables.com/id/Twisted-Sp...ing---flowers!/ with some one in liverpool. First I had seen that lacing pattern was in Liverpool, up by the 'Edge Lane' skate park, must have been 1990 or there abouts, and the lad worked at the bike shop where it he had it done. It may or may not have been this chap, but from what I have seen this Pete Matthews builds wheels for some top rideds in several different aspects of cycling.

I'll bet they aint going to be cheap are they?
