A gem of a cycle shop
This is not your average cycle shop. You won't find rows and rows of shiny bikes in this Deptford bike shop nestled in a 17th century building.
Instead expect to find a slightly chaotic jumble of all sorts of bikes lined up waiting to be repaired or collected. The shop is run by Barrie Witcomb, whose father established the store in 1949 (and still hangs around there). Barrie is the principal frame builder at the store, where they also carry out repairs and renovations.
Don't go here expecting stacks of new parts or accessories - but if you are after cheap, very decent, friendly repairs and free advice, its definitely worth popping in.
Cycle shops can often be daunting to less experienced cycling but the attitudes of the guys working here is great and they will always give you some time to help you out.
