    Am off to London for a few days next week, and it suddenly struck me (ouch) that instead of ebaying all day long with all risks associated, I could actually visit some nice bike shops over there, preferably if they stock up on Bonneville custom accessories (Motone, BC, etc). Plus I'd much rather support real bike shops than online warehouses.

    Has anyone got any suggestions? Ideally tube-reachable (unless it really is worth the hassle of spending hours getting there)

    Many thanks!

    Hi mischa, to tell the truth, most shops that carry this stuff are outside london and they are mainly online, I can't think of one that could carry this stuff, you just missed the kempton park autojumble.

    What about that place in London called The Bike Shed or something similar. It sells loads of stuff as well as coffee and food.

    Ah, I'm not necessarily looking to buy tons of stuff - I'll only have hand luggage anyway.

    The Bike Shed looks like it may be worth a visit, a bit of window shopping never hurt anyone - and it might give me a few tuning ideas. Thanks for the suggestion!
