The wave of new London bike shops

^ I crossed paths with a Pretorius club run today.... Must have been about 20 of them; almost too many for Essex's little lanes.

What's the deal with their shop then? Wasn't aware of it til I got home and googled it. See!s to be a custom build place?

They were taking themselves very seriously I thought. But not as seriously as me of course.

The rides are pretty disciplined, but they are really enjoyable, it's a good crowd, and there's normally a fair bit of chat. I've ride with them quite a bit and the standard of group riding is great.

Unusual for them to have that many together, normally we try to split groups into 12 or less, but the winter does tend to jumble it up a bit.

As for the shop, it's been established for a few years - they have their own range of titanium frames, which come in standard or custom geometries. They also sell Colnago and Cyfac.
