I know all the shops you mention.
To be honest, I work up in town and can easily pop in to Condor or one of the larger Evans.
I am amazed though that most bike shops these days are clueless, and stock virtually nothing.
Even stuff as basic as brake cables can leave some shops stumped these days. Any any shop that sells bikes for the price that Bespoke in Canary Wharf does really should employ people who have a bit of a clue.
+1 for Vaidas (didn't the shop used to belong to Ron Cooper, and then Geoff Roberts)?
Also have a fond spot for Edwardes. Probably got the widest range of bits and pieces of any bike shop in (proper) South East London. I also like the fact that the staff can be a bit arsey.
I think the one you mean in Catford is Compton Cycles.
