had a few bikes from them in our shop, and they were terrible setups to say the least. Also heard from loads of customers who have now come to us because of them. But if you havent had any probs, then good on ya.

Hmm.............I always thought that Stows was a family business and Paul was one of them. Used to be sponsored by Raleigh back in the 80's, was one of the bes BMX'ers in the UK................but evidently I'm wrong !!!
