1990's, Second hand MTB shop in Sarf London

[rocky mountain]

Does anyone remember or can name the mountain bike shop that specialised in sarf london, that dealt in lawful way with high end second hand stuff.

is it still going?

i think you had to have receipts, etc to trade in, they were even in a MTB magazine.

It was called Recycle. I bought an M2 in '98 from there. What happened to it?

RetroBike Shop

would it be feasable to set up a real shop now?

or could some good bike shops set up a retrobike counter franchise inside the shop?

all bike shops have a goodie counter anyhow.......

a cross between a pawn/ebay/shop kinda thang

discuss?

I think there was one in elephant and castle called recycle. Went there a few times when on jury service and aside from some total rubbish, there were some nice kleins and other retro steeds. Not sure if is still there or not though. There is also a bike shop near the court house that had some old frames, including an lts, but this was going back a few years.
