Brick Lane Bikes - Let's clarify some things

don't question ex couriers they know far more than you doofers ever will do about bikes....

Fuck.. lucky I spent that week as a courier then.

@ provenrad - yeah bullshit baffles

I went to Tesco tonight.. and they suggested I use a till without a human in charge! The fucking nerve of those Tesco bastards!! Not that I've ever been to BLB but good on ya Mr Broken.

I have been using the sainsburys self-checkout. it's an infuriating experience, but it works and you don't have to interact with any disgusting humans, they are so grotesque.
Not that I've ever been to BLB either, I have no desire to visit that suburb of London. I decided to have lots of pepper on my lunch, I like pepper, do you?

*sub*urb? Urb, more like. Its about a quarter mile from the boundary of the City of London. Not exactly Surbiton.

This is a complete lie. Have you ever looked at a courier's bike?

+1.

No (real) maintenance for any of my poor old steeds.

There are a couple of them that I dearly hope made it to bike heaven.

i saw a "big boned" woman trying to sneak through with 2 X 12 boxes of Crispy cremes. thinking that route would be freeee and easy... no fucking way. bells, whistles, alarms, service anouncements and the attention of the whole shop while this poor lass tried to explain how they were for the "team" as they had to scan them in..

@broken.. it doesn't explain the mystery illness my cat got when i returned from BLB

oh and I love Radial..

have i said that already?

Your big bones would fold radial.

a nicely rounded response

+another 1

i'm not big boned i am festively plump

plump like a fox!

christ i hate bikes

Nothing but good, infact great, service from BLB....even when i was the token moron that kept taking my 'too near to death' first bike in.

seems a little too easy to jump on a bandwagon sometimes doesn't it?.......subconsciously looking for something to be wrong so you can bitch about it perhaps?

we're gonna need a bigger band wagon

Massive big up to Feya at BLB for sorting me out with the whole warranty/other bag thing to do with my pac bag yesterday, really really appreciate that.

Martin's ok. BLB are still rubbish.

I am now stepping away from the computer and vowing never to say anything about blb again. It is not good for my blood pressure.

Its all about Matchik (SP????) - he writes love letters on saddles for me. Now thats mother fucking customer service.

Popped into BLB yesterday for the first time.
Can see why its a haven for Fixed Wheel riders, the amount of frames and bits and bobs. But saying that I was a little shocked at the arrogance of the staff (but they know their stuff which is good).

Anyway got the part i was after so all is well i guess.

Better than Bull's Bikes though, eh?

You know bulls bikes?

bought my first bike from there when i was around 6, a red bmx. drove up with my dad one sunday from camden. but it was an old geezer running the shop then, apparently there's a new guy now (?).

Yes indeed and to be honest hes probably the most ill informed shop owner ive ever met (nice guy though).

He didnt have a clue what a fixed bike was, what a 1/8th chain was and told me my BB was dead on a newish road bike, when a bolt was lose

I've only ever been to brick lane bikes once and that one time I got a least one free beer.

I went to BLB, they lured me in with free beer, but after a couple of bottles I was dragged into the cellar and killed like in that film 'Saw 3' - I was cut up and made into bike parts, my face a saddle, my cock a brake lever, my balls mere decorative baubles.

I understand that business is business, but this really put me off ever going back there.
