Top London Mechanics

I've done some searching and not much has come up, hence this post.

I'm after the top london bike mechanics, be it in a shop or privately. These are the guys/girls you'd happily let work on your bike and know it will be done correctly.

Is there such a list? Can we maybe start a list of who's who in the city?

Shops (with individually named mechanics)

Mark who runs this place helped me build my first classic bike, gave me good prices, advice, even offered to fit me on it for free. Sadly he's no longer local to me, but I still go in to show off new projects.

anyone got a good recommendation for a mechanic in NW London?

bicycle workshops? it's a small independent bike shop though.

PUSH cycles are trustworthy.

Yeah, Prav ^

Another recommendation for Krisz at Cyclelab.

Ben at Cycleplus in Croydon seems happy to put in extra graft to get the job done.

Bikelab in Richmond
Cyclefit
Brixton cycles

Have all given me excellent service.

Lots of people I know trust Fish, I think he is back at condor now but he moves around a lot.

Also can anyone recommend anyone central / westish? LBS (who shall not be named in case they manage to sort the ungodly mess out) just broke my headset trying to fit it.

The Bicycle Workshop again. Central and westish, but they have a long lead time for work.

Yeah, Prav ^

Prav is a boss!

Infact push cycles are good all round but I like Prav the best because he has a cheeky smile ;)

Ah, yeah, misread Ed's reply. Thanks. Went to check them out last Sunday but they were closed.

whoop! just realised how it sounded, sorry Howard.

Arup - for your wheels. He has the most awesome cat, too.
