One<\/span> Shop <\/span>Stop<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every issue, Cycling Plus<\/em> gives some love to Britain\u2019s best independent bike shops<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Condor Cycles 
<\/span>Central London<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s its history?<\/strong>
\u25cf On Gray\u2019s Inn Road since 1948, and still in the same family. Founder Monty Young\u2019s son Grant is chair; his son Sebastian runs things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes it special?<\/strong>
\u25cf A local bike shop in central London. \u201cWe have everything,\u201d says Condor\u2019s Claire Beaumont, \u201ceither in store or
in our south London warehouse, down to colours of bar tape or niche 1980s Campag brake pads. Lots of bits of old bikes, too.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is a local bike shop so important?<\/strong>
\u25cf \u201cWe had a guy whose cranks freakishly snapped this morning, and we got him back on the road straight away. In a real shop you can try things on, speak to people, get the look and feel of things before you buy.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Famous customers<\/strong>
\u25cf Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton and Benedict Cumberbatch have bought bikes here. Harrison Ford visited in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s in store?<\/strong>
\u25cf Condor bikes only for sale, but any bikes serviced and fixed (Brompton specialist). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
