Brick Lane Bikes Has Arrospok! - London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

Sano · 25th January 2008

It's true. I went in yesterday, and there they were in all their glory. Arrospok.

A bunch of white ones and a couple of black.

Didn't dare ask how much they were, but if you're looking for one, check it out...

dogsballs · 25th January 2008

they also have lots of coloured nitto stuff and coloured sugino RD cranks. wiggedy whack!!

Sano · 25th January 2008

ooh yes, I forgot about that stuff. In my excitement to post Arrospok, it slipped my mind.

They also have 'own brand' frame and forks, lugged, Columbus steel and made in Poland - £280, if I remember correctly.

And Steamrollers

And what are apparently Coppi framesets

And some Bob Jacksons, including a beautiful ice blue number which is my size.

£$€

astrozzack · 25th January 2008

i really wonder how much the spoks will be... i expect it will still be cheaper to import them ourselves from the states.

JOL · 25th January 2008

Skully · 25th January 2008

yep they've had a BLB frame for a while now. I saw a black one about 6 or 8 months ago. I remember going in with my fairly lame sjs Tange thing about 18months ago, and Jan really really looked at it and I saw his brain cogs whirring ... I think his brian's running 47-16 btw.

JOL · 25th January 2008

Mmmm-Hmmmmm.

vic · 25th January 2008

235 shiny engrish pound

provenrad · 25th January 2008

NIce! 235 GN = $460. for ONE wheel?

astrozzack · 25th January 2008

blimey... for one wheel i find this a bit steep!

BoBoB · 25th January 2008

How much are they in the US?

hippy · 25th January 2008

Bah.. I just paid £640 for a boring 32h spoked wheelset.. :)

vic · 25th January 2008

For one front wheel.
I didn't ask which colour that was for though, I imagine they're the same price cos Jan would've said otherwise (I think).

eeehhhh · 25th January 2008

640?! what's so special about them? just look open pros to me.

provenrad · 25th January 2008

Powertap (or whatever they are called) Hippy? Or did you just buy them at Brick Lane bikes.. ;-)

Sano · 25th January 2008

I think I saw the white ones for $750 a pair, the rear wheels are more expensive though.

£235 ain't cheap, but it's not so bad if you figure in shipping and the possibility of having to pay customs...

astrozzack · 25th January 2008

dude they're like $260 exc postage and her majesty's taxes...

Scrapper · 25th January 2008

$270 US for a front from Arrospok

Sano · 25th January 2008

Hey, I'm not arguing, just relating what I saw... :)

I kind of like the arrospok, but not enough to spend that kind of money on them - I know that some people will, which is why I posted.

Arrospok themselves are out of stock, with 'contact us for estimated delivery' message btw.

Provenrad's on the ball. They are indeed 'just' Open Pros.. but they are laced to Powertap hubs. Mwuhahahahaaaa! :D

astrozzack · 25th January 2008

everyone is out of stock... they're the latest fashion :D

Except for BLB, which is perhaps why they're £235?

:p

hippy · 25th January 2008

and why not? some hipster with Bank o' Mum will happily pay for 'em..

Sano · 25th January 2008

true dat...

I was in London some time ago and I found BLB to be *quite* expensive... from what I read here that isn't just an impression, right?

astrozzack · 25th January 2008

no they are quite pricey... sadly :/

3rdworldsuitcase · 25th January 2008

they riding on the crest of pop!let's all stop riding and the prices will drop.

yeah right!like im goona stop.

I was looking in the window this weekend past and some dude walked by with some wheels in his hand whispering in my ear not to buy stuff from there.

but now they have those cool looking noodlespoke i might hand them my cream.

pj (pj) · 25th January 2008

they are no more pricey than london fields or bicycle magic. aside from the plugs, fujis and fillmores, most of what they offer is bespoke. or is that 'bespok'?

Slack · 25th January 2008

have you seen the blb site is linking to the video of deal or arrospok that was posted up on here?

hippy · 25th January 2008

By "bespoke" you mean "used" or "old" or "second hand"? :)

Skully · 25th January 2008

Yeah they're cashing in but doing it pretty well. I have to say they've been good to me in there. Even sold my crappy old Haro shredder for me, which they really didn't have to or want to do ... Jan sold me a 2nd hand Record front hub for peanuts last summer, it's bloomin marvellous too.

OT: How do people rate Mosquito for servicing things?

Surely their arms aren't long enough for most basic bike maintenance tasks?

3rdworldsuitcase · 25th January 2008

mosquito hmmm went there about 4 years ago with my first conversion.All i wanted was to swap the BB.the guy said he take it in coz he had a 'soft spot' for fixed.Next day he called me told me wasnt gonna do the job and that i should come n get my bike asap before they chucked it out.apprently it was taking up way too much space.
