Bike Shop with good choice of Bikes on display?

Hi,

I am looking for a new 26' bike for my daughter, but locally I am unable to find anything decent. All shops around the Newry Area seem to have the same two MTB's in stock and no real choice. Anyone knows of a Bike Shop in NI that has a decent amount and variety of bikes on display? Previously we usually got our bikes from the continent, but with Brexit and Covid restrictions we will have to look locally this time. I am willing to travel for a decent shop and choice.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

Regards,
dsab

    We have always used Halfords and they have given good after service too.
    Have heard good reports on Chain Reaction Cycles too but not used them myself.

    Thanks everyone. Got sorted in the end, but it wasn't easy. We went round several bike shops in Belfast, Lisburn, Portadown etc. and found that a lot of shops are simply sold out with no new stock expected for months. In the end we found one we liked at a smaller retailer, but had to go a level up in terms of quality and subsequently price.
