• it's the forum favourite shop.

    not really... most of the 41,421 members will have probably never been there.

    maybe it's the favourite shop in your in-group...

  • It's really not that convenient if you live in North or East London, I'll say that much!

    I am surprised this happened somewhere with their reputation.

    I had a similar issue recently, where a local bike shop took months to try to do something which took @dbr about half an hour. It was a complicated thing to do and a pain in the arse, I get that, but on top of this the frame (my Orrell) came back with a few new scratches and there was a big scratch on my Chris King headset which wasn't there before.

    The frame already has plenty of scratches so I wasn't bothered about that so much but careless handling by a bike shop is pretty much inexcusable, especially if they don't say anything.

    I couldn't be arsed to complain as I only realised later, but should have done. I won't go there again as I can't trust them to look after my stuff.

  • To be fair it took me an hour and I had to weld up a tool to get it done. Well beyond the avarage bike shop.
