Going up to london tomorrow for a few days, anyone recommend any good, large, road orientated shops up there to have a mooch around?

    as well as condor above, these are places you can ogle some of the less common frames/bikes...

    http://www.bespokecycling.com
    http://www.mosquito-bikes.co.uk
    http://www.cyclefit.co.uk/

    ...they're not large though

    http://www.sigmasport.co.uk/ is a bit outside london (30 minutes from waterloo, nice places nearby for a meal/drink so can be a morning/lunch trip), but large and has an excellent range of stuff that is not found in most stores (argon 18, castelli, enve etc. etc. etc.)

    http://www.fudgescyclestore.com good sram prices
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny

    yep +2 for Condor (BTW the bikes are downstairs)
    Brick lane Bikes for singlespeed heaven It's on bethnal Green road i think

    Cycle Surgery is a good big shop like an Evans
    You'll find Cycle Surgery and Evans at Spittalfields

    BTW there are Boris Bike stations at all these shops so get yourself on a Boris if you don't have a bike with you. Condor is quite awkward to get to by tube the closest stop is Farringdon then a 5 -10 min walk
    Enough bikes to open a bike shop but always room for one more...

    Simplest way to get to Condor by tube is Chancery Lane on Central Line - you just walk in a straight line along Greys Inn Road from there - not more than 10 minutes. From Farringdon is a bit twisty, turny!

    ...But I don't think they are open on a Sunday, if that is the day you are popping up to town...
