I would have said Holdsworth and Ken Ryall, but they are long gone.

Mmmm, there's a small place that does vintage / classic mainly racing bikes on Balls Pond Road - been past there plenty of times, but never in. They sell things like caps and jerseys and stuff as well. It's on the #30 and #277 bus route so get-able from Highbury. Also on the #277 bus route is London Fields Cycles on Mare Street - probably a little out of your way I guess. And on Essex Road (#73 & #476 bus route and walking distance from the place on Balls Pond Road) just a few doors down from the library at Cross Street, there is another cycle shop - it's recently changed hands and been refurbished. Can't remember what it's called though. There is also another place on Chapel Street Market up at the Angel - it's served by all four of those bus routes. They have a stall on the market and a shop also on the market iirc.

That would be Pedal Pedlar on Balls Pomd road , not a big shop , but nice classic and vintage stuff for sale ,nice helpfull staff , also back down the way Brick Lane Bikes , and another bike shop a bit further along that road , a bit dear but some proper classic frames and stuff

we have found Sargents in Highbury and we did the Brooks shop just up from Camden so apart from Evans and such please recommend some places in central London area .

Sargent's is hilarious. There's some nice stuff there, but I'm not sure if the owner actually wants to sell any of it.

I assume he has exceedingly rich parents who are keen to keep him off the streets.

My all-time favourite bike shop is Condor Cycles on Gray's Inn Road https://www.condorcycles.com/

I've seen Condor bikes on display at a bike show and I'm now too afraid to go into their shop.

I was afraid while they had the absolutely and utterly gorgeous Gran Fondo Ti...now I'm just gutted that they no longer sell it (and am boycotting...unless I need to buy something from them )

I saw that , but just thought Id give them an insight as what to expect nice staff , not a lot to look at as it is a small shop ,

Everyone goes on about them and likes them but hardly anyone has got one of their bikes.

Hardly anyone? I had a Squadra, I can think of half a dozen owners I know off the top of my head.....

Plenty in and around London

And who wants a bike that everyone else has

I keep my peepers open on eBay for a 55cm GF Ti but they are vanishingly rare
