introHi to everyone!It appears that another Greek just joined the forum. My name is Alexandros, in Greece I go by the nickname "sulpikios" but in the UK it doesn't make any sense so I ditched it 
My wonderful sister Christina sent me my bike (a plain Ideal hardtail) which I received 5 hours ago, re-assembled and now can't wait to ride! I hope to get the bike tuned this weekend (I didn't properly reassemble the headset I think - something doesn't feel right) and be ready for some riding by next week(end). I live in west London (Kensington) - can anyone suggest a good bike shop around my neck of the woods for servicing/gear? Hope to meet you soon on a ride! Alex |

No idea about bike shops round that way mate, but it's good to have another fine greek in the place... |

For want of a better option Alex, there's an Evans Cycles in Fulham.
http://www.evanscycles.com/stores...543780E2616A11227754.tc6#store_65 They have a good range of stuff. I don't know about their service, it varies between shops. HTH |

After calling Swim-Bike-Run in Fulham and getting the "£35 and in 5 days if you're lucky pal" attitude, I took it to West Ken Bikes (intersection of N.End Road & Lillie Road) and had the headset serviced for £15. Seems to be alright now... we'll see how it rides in the mud I guess!
Thanks for the kind comments and suggestions, hope to start meeting people this weekend! |
