I just settled into Leeds, UK and brought a second hand bike. It was in a bad shape (improperly maintained - but good condition!). I need to be able to find a good shop around city centre for picking up spares. Anyone know of one ?
Secondly, is there a good site that talks about modifying bikes (or even helping identifying them?). I am a total new beginner to bicycles and am using nothing but common knowledge to repair them.
Any help, links, suggestions would be great help !

Hi Mayuresh,
You will probably have more luck posting this request in uk.rec.cycling, which has several posters who live in your area and can give you personal recommendations.
