Repped (again) Oliver. (we need a Oliver appreciation thread;)
I have had more good times than bad ones in London fields. Its where I bought my first otp fixed bike 7 years ago from a lovely helpful person called katie.
Indeed, Katie's great. I bought mine there in early 2006 and had all beginner's issues which, as a mechanical ignoramus, would have dogged me, sorted out before they ever happened by the very competent and knowledgeable Greg, who gave me the right gear ratio, assorted other bits (brakes) at a very good price, assembled it all, and told me which bits I'd be likely to want to swap out in due course.
