is this a friendly shop or one to avoid?
my friend who lives in London right now, wanted to get a bike to get around because he hates public transport which im sure everyone here can relate to....he went to the markets to find a cheap thing and ended up buying a unipack sadly as his bike knowledge isn't amazing.....he is the nicest guy going, wouldn't say a bad word about anyone, well spoken and polite.....and as i ride fixed he was intrigued by it and wanted to get into it so yeah, mistakenly got a unipack and wanted to fix up the back wheel so he went into BLB thinking 'seems like a nice place and could give me good advice' with his bike thinking, because bike shops are there in my opinion for advice/information/help/parts however someone in there said "nah, im not working on that"
as a person you wouldn't act snobby like that no matter what position your in.....from other stories ive heard, i think they need to value their customers a bit more.
has anyone got any stories about this shop....good or bad?
