Wheel builders in NE London / SW Herts

[jonathan75]

Shout out for the Cheshunt branch of Stanley Bridge Cycles who are building me a wheel from scratch for £23-£28 max, I just provide the hub-motor and rim, they measure up and source the spokes for £12 if I wish. Result.

Good to hear as their premises aren't too far away from my neck of the woods. The Lee Valley park, near to that bike shop is nice, scenic, easy -riding territory with plenty of wildlife. Some hardy friends have ridden from Broxbourne all the way to the Olympic park, (and back!) but I can't seem to get past the beer shops at Waltham Abbey.

Does anybody know if Whiskers bikes at Goffs Oak is still in existence? I used to buy stuff there at good prices, and even when I moved away from North London I still bought there by mail order. But since everything went online I’ve never come across them and they seem to have never had an online presence.

Just on my way out of the door but a quick search revealed this entry, though whether or not it's extant, I really can't say:

Thanks oldtom. I used to buy parts from them by mail order up to the start of the millennium but I sold my last road bike then. So just idle curiosity really since a few of you still live and cycle round that way.
