  I live a million miles from London (well almost) and I'm there for the day tomorrow with the chance to go and perv in some bikeshops.

  I'm thinking of relegating my ancient conversion fixed to be the pub bike, and getting myself a nice shiney new one.

  Soooo, where should I go to have a look at some nice ones? I was reckoning Condor, Brixton and maybe Brick lane (without buying anything). Anywhere else in easy reach of a tube...?

  I've had my crappy old conversion (semi-horizontal droputs) for a few years now, and it's done fine.

  Going down the hill this morning it felt as if the wheel might need yanking back a touch to tighten the chain. Fortunately, it wasn't until I'd nearly stopped at the bottom that the chain flipped off the front ring.

  Back wheel stopped etc. Arse.

  Any ideas why it might suddenly decide not to play nice anymore? Sorry for being thick.

  Stumbled across this one - http://www.webbline.co.uk/completebikes.asp (fixed is halfway down the page).

  Anyone heard of them?
