I can't really see a high-end brick and mortar bike shop being economically viable.

Velorution (who have just opened a second outlet in Selfridges).
Bikefix.
Bon Velo.

how many people are really going to be interested in purchasing a £5-10k road bike?

The same people willing to spend £500 on a "cycling suit jacket". Or buy Paul Smith/Ted Baker cycling gear.

London is increasingly dominated by people with silly money to splash around. Cycling is more fashionable than ever. In this city, it will work.

I'd imagine that Sigma or Mosquito have more in common with Bike Room that that lot, and I know at least Velorution isn't exactly a poster-boy for economic viability :)
