london road/walcot street from 1995-2006
IIRC the latter part was a grim period for the pubs, i think only the Bell survived!
On discgate we put Spyre's with Swissstops on my partner spanking new Condor build as A. she's light, B. we wanted the smaller STI units for her hands. Honestly, they were awful, so bad that on a touring trip with a lot of descending we had to stop to let her hands recover. It killed the joy of riding an expensive bike so in the end we forked out for the 7025 levers that are designed for smaller hands and look a bit less bulky with MTB calipers. The difference is night and day and since then she hasn't once smashed into the back of me on my rim brake bike.

Indeed, it's an interesting approach he's working there... and a pretty hefty price tag on it too.
I lived on and around the london road/walcot street from 1995-2006 so I have happy memories of riding in that area
