High On Bikes, an Ebay seller is quite efficient. Everything paid for before the late afternoon turns up the next morning. Good if you need something in a hurry. Can't complain with Wiggle either.
If you live in East London, there's a Bike Shack shop in Leyton. There's one guy, who's quite knowledgeable and willing to do little adjustments for a little change (my yoof takes his bike there). I had less luck with another guy, who for example never fitted tubs in his life etc. I know we can work out many things on our own, but you'd expect more from a mechanic.
Tour De Ville seem thorough (gee, they can take long:-)) and passionate, but are weary of newbies without visible tatts and Campagnolo cycling caps and the kind of looks one can get from them (HTFU like) can be intimidating at first. Or I'm just paranoid. Anyway, they're cool.
