Tried freeborn? http://www.freeborn.co.uk/
Don't know what the prices are like now, been 6 years since i ran a bike shop or rode anything worthy of some trickery.

I use a local place called Royles. Had my last few bikes from there, along with all the bits I've bought apart from the Forks/Shocks. Tend to buy them straight from Fox.
Had a few bargains from Ebay though too.

Maybe stif.co.uk to.

Stiff bikes use to be good but since they moved the staff are wank and seem to be orange reps and only want you to buy orange stuff.

Chainreaction tends to be the best online, or stiff cycles?
Also have a 24 inch halo tornado rear wheel for sale if your interested?
