Bike shops in UK
Hi all,
I intend to go to the TDF2004 and after that head across to the UK for a week no cycling just looking around. Not sure where I'll be staying etc... First trip over there from Oz. I'm after some good bike shops to get a pair of wheels built using Campag hubs. I'm also thinking of getting a new Chorus groupset over there and getting the shop to put it together for me. Any advice or recommendations, locations would be appreciated. TIA Colin |

There are many good shops around the UK, with quite a gathering of good sellers in the Manchester/Liverpool/Preston areas in the North West of England.If you can get hold of a copy of the UKs 'Cycling Weekly', there are loads off ads from dealers. No doubt you will be going to London, and a shop that will suit your needs is Condor Cycles in Central London. (http://www.condorcycles.com/). They are not the cheapest, but they have a good reputation. HTH Alan. -- To reply by e-mail, change the 'minus' to 'plus'. http://www.dvatc.co.uk - Off-road cycling in the North Midlands. |

I was well impressed from the start when he told me to bring them back after 100 miles to get them re-tuned. After that they have remained almost perfect, showing signs of wear of course. -- The Reply & From email addresses are checked rarely. http://www.mseries.freeserve.co.uk |
