Grantway; CS Spitz has bin supplying MTB stuffs for something like 20 years nearly, I think. I certainly remember it from the early/mid nineties, and they were one of the best shops around for MTB stuffs.
In fact, it were CS for MTB, Condor for Roadie gear. There were a few other MTB places, like Covent Garden cycles, Action Bikes YHA in Covent Garden too, and another one can’t remember the name in a secret alleyway underneath the Adelphi Hotel off the Strand bloody silly place to have any sort of shop there no-one knew it was there, and it was near-impossible to find.
CFH used to manage the CG Action Bikes YHA one I think. They had some nice Scotts in there at one time.
They’ve all disappeared. Maybe the bubble burst a bit too soon for them, before cycling took off big time in London. Bike shops seem to all be doing pretty well here these days.
Can’t be bothered with that one Cyclefit in Macklin St. Poncy pretentious tossy place; you need an appointment to go in or something! I woon’t poo through their letterbox. Probbly a bike shop for racists or something like that, that’s why they’re so ‘exclusive’.
Actually I would poo through their letterbox. That’s all they’d get from me though.
