We have a link from the Brick Lane Bikes site direct to here off our front page..... David returned the favour by putting us (BrickLaneBikes) top of the links list and making us stand out.... both sites get a lot of traffic from it as well as it being there for forum users to access

does that mean that the staff there HAVE to be nice to forum members? As opposed to extremely rude which seems to be their favorite mode of communication?

I'm with wayne_f14 on this one.

I am selling my Pogo stick and getting a pair of them there heelys from somewhere cool like Evans.

I am sick of the sycophantic arse licking towards corporate sponsorship now endemic in the Pogo scene.

they have helped me alot on my build. Feya seems sound to me. When i went to pick up my wheels from there couple of weeks ago though the guy who was there (not usually) was a patronising cnut though.
muttered something like 'enjoy playing with your wheels' as i walked out the door.

BLB they're alright, not bad, could be better, and rather overpriced. 650quid for a 501 framed bike with old parts with potential compatibility problems? no way.

I still vote Brixton cycles as the only perfectly decent shop. Contrary to what some say my experience with condor wasn't that bad either. Well, I'm through with edwardes, what could be worse in terms of service?

Excellent, I will get a dirtsurfer first thing tomorrow and have it on gumtree.com by around 4.00 pm - I just hate the whole fakensurfer scene and want out.

BLB is like a skate shop where they're dicks to you the first time. You know the type, shops that complain about non-skaters buying skate shoes - yet they still sell them to them.

They get better, but 'customer service' doesn't seem to be a word they're too familiar with.
