Qype: Evans Cycles in London

London - Cars & Bikes - Bicycles

I've been looking to buy a bike for a couple weeks now and i've popped into Apex Cycles a few times to look at the bikes and ask the staff a few questions. The selection of racing bikes (in the shop) is generally quite poor and unless you are willing to spend over £700 it is unlikely you will find a suitable bike. The staff seem enthusiastic at first, but after asking them a couple of basic questions i seriously doubted their knowledge and ability to provide good advice. The in-store interactive search tool is laughable. It reminded me alot of Jack Nicklaus super swing golf that you would find in arcades in the early 90's. Impossible scrolling, completely unintuitive interface and it takes about 10 minutes for a page to load.

I've now decided to boycott Apex Cycles completely and i will instead be buying my bike from Apex Cycles which is only a couple of doors down Clapham High Street. The service a selection in here is infinitely better and the prices seem more competitive too. If only they were open on a Sunday.....
