  1. Hi all,

    I intend to go to the TDF2004 and after that head across to the UK for a week no cycling just
    looking around. Not sure where I'll be staying etc... First trip over there from Oz.

    I'm after some good bike shops to get a pair of wheels built using Campag hubs. I'm also thinking of
    getting a new Chorus groupset over there and getting the shop to put it together for me.

    Any advice or recommendations, locations would be appreciated.

    TIA Colin

  2. There's a list of bike shops available at
    cycleweb.co.ukshps.html
    - may be useful if you're staying in a particular area. Kirby

    There are many good shops around the UK, with quite a gathering of good sellers in the
    Manchester/Liverpool/Preston areas in the North West of England.If you can get hold of a copy
    of the UKs 'Cycling Weekly', there are loads off ads from dealers. No doubt you will be going
    to London, and a shop that will suit your needs is Condor Cycles in Central London.
    (condorcycles.comcondorcycles.com). They are not the cheapest, but they have a good reputation.

    I had some great wheels built at Condor Cycles, they have needed no attention at all since they were
    built. They have done inexcess of 6000 loaded touring miles since I got them in1990

    Dales in Glasgow did a good Mavic wheel for me.

    Hope you enjoy your visit to the UK. Bill

    Its a long time since I visited any LBSs in London, does Monty still build wheels ? I was well
    impressed from the start when he told me to bring them back after 100 miles to get them re-tuned.
    After that they have remained almost perfect, showing signs of wear of course.
