I was running for dry cleaners so didn't get enough time to have a look properly, but this place which used be a chinese restaurant on Hackney road was now having ss, fixed, and folding bicycles and their boxes all over the place. Though there were still same signs and logos for the restaurant, seemed like they were getting ready for opening of the shop or use it as ebay stock-house or whatever.
On my way back home place was closed already and no one was there, but had chance to have a close look for some of the stuff near the window. They were selling some of ok-ish bikes and Dahon folding bikes as well but I could tell they are mainly after fixed hipsters around the town since more than half of the bikes they displayed were create/unipack look-alikes. Most of the part were made by unknown company all I could spot was the name on the hubs which was Rimnete, Tiwanese company.
Don't know how much they were selling them for but hopefully cheapy cheap, otherwise it would be like stealing money from people like my friend who just started to ride then give up because of the bad experience from his create/unipack bike... :-(
