14 Bike Co / 14 Bike Company / Shop Fourteen

Nearly £200?? Christ, that's almost £300!

:D lol

Anyone know if Shop14 do Paul components?

I am in need of a brake lever.

Not sure, but BLB do

10-7 I think.

Meh, I guess Saturday will have to do. Anyone know if they sell Bitto B259AA risers in black? Pretty standard hipster fare, so I assume yes!

had a load in various colours last time I was there, no doubt a black pair somewhere also.

Nice one. Didn't see how much they were charging by any chance, last I heard BLB wanted £55!

Not sure, but BLB do

I know they do, and to be fair no one has been rude to me today- I might have to pop in.

I spoke to them earlier on the blower and they did not, however, know whether they charged £39.95 or £49.95 for a Paul brake lever, which is concerning.

just popped in. 14 gets the ted seal of approval.

But did Teddy see any Paul brake levers?!

what you after? i've got one sitting around somewhere. i stripped the anodizing off of though cuz i was gonna polish it but then never ended up putting on a brake...

Right hand brake lever, want me to take it off your hands?

Ask for a price match then :p and thats "TFG" not 14's prices.

Cheaper than BLB...

Nitto NJS Pro Quill Stem,

TFG - £60
BLB - £54.99

that is only one price, and not an entirely relevant one at that, since it isn't actually sold by shop 14 (its an item from TFG, from which 14 doesn't directly profit)

I think its pretty obvious that was was meant by this comment is that on the whole items seem to be sold at a lower price that at BLB, which I would tend to agree with

frankly, a fiver difference isn't a massive gap, a massive gap would be the white Zaffiro tyres that BLB sell for £35, whether Condor sell it for less than half that.

Brought a Chris King threaded headset today from them for a lot cheaper than everywhere else. Being somewhat shy I was quite intimidated by the cool vibe of the place but everyone seemed really friendly and eager to help. Thanks.

is there a number for the shop yet?

14

14

This joke will never get old.

I was flabbergasted at that, nearly £30 for a shitty tyres, whether I can get the slighty better priced Schwalbe Stelvio for a fiver more (a tenner more than online shop but perfectly normal for actual shop).

thank fuck my girlfriend live near Condor otherwise I wouldn't be able to find a white tyres at non-hipster price, but I still like BLB thought, I once brought a Turbo saddle that they let me have for a fiver, it was in really poorly cosmetic condition but still very rideable.

+1 condor is goodness !!!

I really don't like BLB. I've been in there loads and haven't really ever had a positive experience. I know a few people who say that they just have off days and are generally pretty cool. Maybe they don't like the look of my face (quite possible), maybe i've just caught them on bad days (not very possible due to how many times i've been in). This isn't really a hate comment. I WANT to have a nice time in there, but i almost feel unwelcome these days.....

+1 you are not alone on this one :{)

Gorgeous frames. Really nice fillet brazing and really good finishing, both the actual paint and the colours. Bike porn aplenty.

My one issue is that all the frames they are selling will come with threadless headsets/Ahead stems. I know this is because the range of ahead stems and compatable forks is so much better than threaded/quill, but I still think steel forks can only look good with a smooth silver quill stem in them. My 2p, nothing more...
