Hi guys,
I've just decided to buy a bike and have a fairly rough idea of what I need - I'm not going to ask you what I should get, I'll take that to someone who's job it is to help me figure that out! However that's where I'd like to get your advice. I work in Shoreditch and went into a place near work to get some advice from them and see if they had anything I might be interested in. Because I can't afford (and don't want) an £800 fixie I was made to feel like a cheapskate loser. It really put me off going to an independent shop, which I normally prefer doing for most things. I'm up for giving it another go but thought I'd see if anyone here knew of a friendly place in either East or North London (out as far as Stratford or Archway) where I'll get some honest advice and has a selection of hybrids for around £200-300. I had a look on here for any previous threads similar to this but couldn't find any so sorry if it's not etiquette - I couldn't find anything in the T&Cs to say it wasn't.
Cheers, Ad
