I've had enough of the chains. Evans, Cycle Surgery - they have basically taken my money and done sweet FA with it.

Can anyone recommend a decent place to get some fixes done in the City? I'm talking spoke repairs, chainset replacements and so on.

Ideally not a place that is full of hipster fixies hanging around laughing at my hi-viz, non-ninja approach to cycling.

I use Bespoke Cycling in Farringdon Road (no 143), Farringdon strangely. They are very good, but its fairly top end; not single speeders in jesus creepers, but Assos, ENVE, Parlee etc. Labour rates are not the cheapest, but its central London and I guess they need to fuel the Maseratis.

Evereything I've seen looks very good (I'm biased though, they are building my new Madone 7 series once Shimano deem me worthy of the DA 9070 Di2 I ordered last year; grrrrr).

But worth a pop in, even if just to admire the bling or facilities on offer.

Otherwise there is also the London Bicycle Workshop on Clarkenwell Road. Not used them, but they are round the corner (round teh corner from Condor).

I previously had used a shop near London bridge (with a name like a popular cockney phrase "on yer....", but found them to be below standard; and the sale steam prone to flights of fancy (maynot have been representative of the normal service on offer; but enough to put me off).
