In this day and age of mass production and cheap imports from china, how do small manufacturing enterprises keep going, well i will tell you its something you dont get from the big players its called customer service, and this place pours it out in bucket fulls, and old family firm still going generations later, everybody should support these kind of businesses, I popped in here for the first time years ago while waiting for my washing in the launderette next door, i had a bike,i didnt want to buy anything, but i did want advise, the guy that was in there at the time stopped what he was doing came straight over, introduced himself and spent the next 20 mins chatting to me about my bike and bikes in general, never have i met anybody with more pasion for his job. Buy your bikes from here forget the big boys, i bought one 6 month later, never looked back.]]> Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:34:32 +0000 /review/uk/london/sport/1o62176/witcomb-cycles/1x7ew7903223055 gard3n3r 51.4728711 -0.0276788 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/sport/1o62176/witcomb-cycles/1l30h8

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.
