Ditto, went in there for a cable for my brompton today and always friendly. I 90% of my stuff there.

I am a recent convert since swapping some bits with Hassan.
Great people and nice bike porn in there.

Somehow always sunny when I ride over too.

i used condor as an example of a major bike shop,im sure most people would prefer to shop in an independent shop like Cavendish cycles..i know i would.

@ aidan: Condor are an independent bike shop! OK, not your average LBS, but they are independent - the reason they are bigger than your LBS is because they have an excellent reputation, and they have been around forever.

You can tell that Condor are independent: Evans have opened a shop in the same street. Although I see where you are coming from, I have a problem with the statement above.

@ billa See this thread and stop slagging people off behind their backs.

Only had good service from Cavandish. I needed my bike valued for insurance, they did it for free. I wanted a wheel trued and they taught me how to do it myself (for free). The only problem I have had is that sometimes they don't let me pay and that was before I started buying all my stuff from them.

i want this problem

They were really helpful to me when I bought my IRO. On a Saturday. But the two staff in there were both English, don't know that other geezer.

racist!

I think it is because I go on a Saturday and they don't seem too busy. At 8.30 in the morning weekdays there are usually queues outside and lunchtimes are hectic.

I'm going to give you some reputation for that, and I'd accept it graciously if I were you, seeing as it's been bequeathed by a giant amongst reputees.

this may be of interest cavendish just recieved a big shipment from EAI, so loads of stuff there
champ grips (including the fatter ones)
nitto stems
cogs and lockrings
deep Vs

ooo stiffy!

I was in at lunchtime too; boxes and boxes of stuff everywhere. Lots of Nitto coloured drops and risers toestraps and the like.

Do they have any EAI bareknuckles to gawk at??
