Can anyone help with a restorer of this in London? I’ve been using it for years and now my regular bike shop won’t do it anymore

I have a Mailstar, what issues does it have?

How gorgeous. I just need someone to change the tyre repair the brakes and gears but right now just replace the whole rear wheel. I’m in central London

I would have thought there were a few cycle shops that could/would do that for you. Why do you need a rear wheel replacement?

No front wheel only No one will touch it.

Suggest trying to find a community type repair/bike recycling scheme.

Am not familiar with London bikeshops - with exception of once visiting Brixton Cycle Works many years ago.

If you can find a will and able bike mechanic - but run into issues sourcing parts - this specialist brompton / cycle touring shop has obscure parts galore! e.g. sturney archer bit bobs for hub brakes & gears…
