Classic Bike Service in London?

[juanjo]

Can anybody suggest a good maintenance and repair shop in the London area (preferably East London) especialised in classic bikes. I have an old Triumph and normal workshops do not want (or don't know how) to service these machines.

Thanks

not sure on east london
i would possible look up the local branch of the Triumph Owners Club (they are on web) and see recomendations there.
or check out specialist magazines
enjoy

not much really to service on a classic bike.


most have no form of air filter, or just banjo filters (like S&B)

oil changes its self by leaking out of the bike, so just top up

drum brake shoes are easy to change and would,nt damage anything if they were right out, unlike disk brakes.

spokes would need tighting now and again

tyres never wear out just rott over the years.

spark plugs easy to get at no plastic fantastic

chain lubes its self from leaking engine oil
