Mechanics

Emil and Vlad.

Emil, our head mechanic, has been with London Bicycle for over 10 years. He lives and breathes bikes. He knows the business inside out. He probably built your bike (unless you bought it from argos).

Every batman has a robin. That's Johnny!

Johnny is Emil's brother called Vladimir.

Vlad moved to London in 2014 to chase the sun and the prestige of working in London's greatest bicycle repair establishment, that is very difficult to get into, unless you have a brother called Emil who already works here.  Vlad has over 10 years experience as a bike mechanic.

Now we have a new member of our team called is called Desmond, Dez for short. He tells us, that he is half Jamaican, we're not sure we think it's just acting. (that's his trade) He is the invisible one, hiding out the back polishing frames and chain rings so that you can see your face in them.

Emil and Vlad will also always follow up a repair with a quick check-in via email to make sure everything is all okay and working properly! Read below for some customer replies to these emails and to these recent reviews about their fantastic service!

I appreciate good service as it seems to be quite rare these days! Thanks for re-cutting the steerer tube for nothing,  I'll definitely recommend you to other people and I'll be back again should I need any other work done on the bike.

The bike rides like a cloud right now, very happy with the service provided from yourselves!

Thanks it was great, the brakes work fine and the rear light is now on.

Hi Emil,

I was just thinking about how excellent my bike's performance is after the service, and how you are the first bike shop (Condor, where I bought it, and who were both rude and useless, Evans, Mosquito, Cycle Surgery) in 10 years to get the seat post and saddle exactly right. Brilliant. I am more comfortable and faster with less effort.

I am recommending you to all the cyclists I know!

Thanks again.
