I have one in SW6 you can have. LBS are always pretty good, I've gotten mine for free in the past.

Shame, I threw one out in Brixton on Saturday and the recycling van came by this morning... Like Gav said, any LBS should be able to help you out...

ask the LBS for packaging too, the plastic braces that go between fork and frame dropouts, the covers that go on the axle ends, bubblewrap etc.
All that shit, including tons of the boxes, are thrown away or recycled all the time in a fairly busy shop.
Before I worked in a shop I went in one in TX and asked for a box to ship my bike, they were happy to give me one but offered to pack it for me for $20 including (recycled) box and packing. Depending on your LBS they might be willing to do this too...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
