........there was up until recently in Bexleyheath Kent UK a small used cycle shop trading under the name "The Old Bicycle Trading Co." that had within the last year used eBay to move some stock (mainly Sturmey Archer parts) The owner, a very pleasant and helpful chap called Derek retired at the beginning of April 2003 and I believe the shop has now ceased trading as a cycle business, although he did mention when we last spoke that he would still dabble in eBay for a bit. Not sure if this is the same shop that you seek, it's a shame when the little 'uns wind up business as Derek's shop proved to be a good source of supply for vintage hubs, brakes and chainsets , etc., I may be able to contact Derek if it's essential........... regards Griff King-Spooner (London UK)
