Hi everyone I am visiting London for a month. After looking into renting a bike I have decided that buying one could be a better idea. I have been searching the forum here for a very long time. I have seen several links to shops. . none of them really specify if they sell fixed gear, which I am looking for. I found some good info.. but its from 2008 and the places that were recommended are out of business. Brick Lane Bikes seems legit, but pricey- and again- they do not specify if they sell 2nd hand.
Again, I am desperately seeking a shop, in London; that would have 2nd hand/USED fixed gear bikes - I would also consider buying new however my budget is looking like 250GBP maximum. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be much appreciated, I apologize if this has been covered already - all of the links I found were for freewheel multi-gear bike(s)/shops; which I have a severe allergic reaction to.
I found a site www.gumtree.com that has a decent amount of mostly used fixed gear- seems that some of the local shops post bikes for sale on there. can anyone vouch for this site? thank you all very much - hope to see you out on the streets, maybe you'll catch me passing you :] much love. -Ted
