??????

not sure who you mean here.

Bristol Bike Breakers used to be in Dulcie Street up to about 8 years ago then became bike direct which are primarily importers of Jap bikes for restoring and the odd Brit spec one. They dont break anymore.

Alternatively there is the Bike Hut, but based in Iron Acton in the outer reaches of Bristol.

Bike Hut are ok but I wouldnt buy a project from either as repairing wouldnt return a profit, you could get cheaper from TradeIt or similar like ebay

Thanks for the reply chaz, not sure they were on ebay as "bristol breakers". It says on their blah theyve been doing it for many years and that the business was recently taken over! They sell projects but mostly spares i think**

http://www.bikedirectbristol.co.uk/ is the old bristol breakers as I said apart from a few 'goodies' hanging up in the rafters most of their bikes need work. We bought a bandit R reg private sale , and rode home better condition than one of the wrecks they had for project same year or later.

Bike Hut have moved last year , same estate , bigger premises, same owner. Other than that I cant think of any others in that area.

I have been informed (as Im looking for a business) that the Honda part of Ebley motorcycle breakers (Gloucester) is up for sale. I asked but didnt get any info.
