Need some advice...
Moved to Aberdeen last month and will be living here for the upcoming year. Living downtown and have seen, ridden past plenty of bike shops but virtually all cater to the basic home commuter type bike, some "electric" bikes and a few low-end road and mtb.
So, can anyone recommend a good bike shop here in Aberdeen that has a decent selection of goods, and hi-end bikes. Right now I need a good pair of bibs as the ones I brought with me are degrading quickly.

No one buys good kit in a shop. A) You generally can't find it. B) It is usually much cheaper online. Doesn't the fact that you can't even find a decent bike shop tell you something?

You are pretty out of luck with Aberdeen bike shops unfortunately. Alpine, Edinburgh or Holburn. Not the best things heard about Holburn.
Despite all the oil money Aberdeen doesn't really do cycling.

Yeah Aberdeen is pretty shoooot for that nature, some very good ones a short drive away though.
Shame as it is almost the only way to get about the city in a reasonable time.
