Brick Lane Bikes (BLB) Bike Shop

You can get a 15mm combination spanner for £3 from the hardware store 1/4 mile away on Liverpool St.

That said, BLB's £10 combination spanner has a ratchet head, which is quite a nice touch, and you'll always pay more for those.

What kind of sad fuck am I posting about fucking spanners at 11 o clock on a Sunday morning?

What's really sad, is many other people are reading this and nodding in agreement

nods

ugh. is there a more annoying topic on this forum than the ongoing "blb -- good? bad?" debate?

I've just dropped a G. Have I spent enough coin to be in ya klub?

nope. a £2000 spend is the minimum. sorry, mate.

...and don't forget the mink...

Basically what polybikeuser said - good if you want a certain colour of Nitto jaguar, bars or a pac bag. I've actually found in person they've always been very nice to me. And they think my bike is 'amazing'. So I'm probably biased at the moment. They've also had some nice NOS saddles at fair prices recently though.

Based on what I've heard I probably wouldn't buy general stuff there and do all my fixing/servicing myself so couldn't comment on that.

I dont often get out east, so i thought i'd take the opportunity to go into BLB and shop 14 for the first time today as i would be in bethnal green.

I will be in the market for a 19t cog for a freewheel in a couple of weeks time so thought i'd pop in to see prices/if they stock em. I asked the shop assistant guy in BLB if they had any and when it was clear what i was after and that they didn't have any he quickly lost interest in the conversation and turned his back on me in what i consider a rude manner.

Surely in the current financial climate they cant have that many trusafarians/hipsters throwing money at them to be so rude to walk in customers? Surfice to say i wont be going in there again

what did you want? a blowjob?

look on the bright side, Rapha gear is really quite nice.

... if a little pricey...

but so worth it.

Would have been nice but i didn't expect to be so rudely snubbed

You're after a 19t cog, what gear ratio do you ride?

"in the market for"

fuck's sake it's a two-bob part, not a house.

Obviously but the next time I want to buy something pricey I wont be going to BLB. Shop 14 were much more friendly

Umm, whats that got to do with anything?

alright, who is this?

I heard that BLB funded an underground campaign to re-introduce animal testing for the EU cosmetics industry..

make of that what you will.

That is bloody terrible to hear, what a complete bastard.

What's your views on jumping red lights?

he quickly lost interest in the conversation

Because it was over?

Tip: When I'm trying to sound snobby and superior I make sure I spell correctly.

With or without a helmet?
