Hi Guys

Some help/advice please?

 

Has anybody used these guys previously?

They sell Paul products cheaper than what I can get them for from Paul Components themselves.

Thanks

Used to pop in there when I lived that side. Awesome shop.

 

Not sure about their on line ability, but as a passionate group of guys making awesome builds and the diversity of their stock they have always been brilliant.

isnt brick lane market where all the stolen stuff used to get sold before sun up?

 

No. That is Gumtree....

 

 

but for reference.....

 

Bermondsey Market (also known as New Caledonian Market and Bermondsey Square Antiques Market) is an antiques market located at Bermondsey Square on Tower Bridge Road in Bermondsey, part of the London Borough of Southwark, in South LondonEngland.

 

 

Marché ouvert[edit]

The opening hours of the Bermondsey Market from 6am until noon (some sources say 4am until 2pm) reflect the ancient law of market ouvert, which was abolished in 1995.[2] Under this law, in number of designated markets, including Bermondsey Market, if an item was sold between sunset and sunrise then its provenance could not be questioned, so stolen goods could be traded and good title would pass to the purchaser. To quote Minister for the Arts Estelle Morris in July 2003 during the Second Reading of the Dealing In Cultural Objects (Offences) Bill:

I did not have information about marché ouvert in the deep recesses of my mind, but experts reliably inform me that it no longer exists. The hon. Member for Uxbridge (Mr. Randall) will be surprised to learn that it has been abolished only recently. It used to exist in designated markets, including Bermondsey. I am sure that the promoter will be interested in telling the hon. Member for Southwark, North and Bermondsey (Simon Hughes) about that. In it, items could be sold before sunrise. Believe it or not, in this land of ours, people could sell stolen—my officials put "dodgy" in brackets, but we do not use that term—objects. I assure hon. Members that it has been abolished. I hope that that deals with the fears of the hon. Member for Uxbridge.

Borough market is miles away from Brick Lane. If fact on the wrong side of railway line (Thames). 

 

Just joking, Brick Lane Cycles have been around for  years. Fixie haven.
