Cycle Touring Specilaist Shops in Perth

Howdy People, I am about to start on planning a cycle tour (destination to be determined) and was
wondering which LBS in Perth is the best for touring advice and gear?

Cheers Gary

I just had a really nice tourer made up for by Gordonsons, who have since shut =\ Cant say I could
think of which other store Id recommend at this point.

The frame makers were Quantum in North Perth and some other parts were sourced interstate, I can
provide details as required =)

Thanks for that but I wont be buying another bike, I've just bought a new roadie I am looking at
using my MTB and I was just after someone to help with mounting racks on it (or at least placing
them correctly as I have a disk mount on the rear which means my rack is a bit high and forward) or
advising to replace front shocks with rigid forks that sort of thing. My partner and I already have
racks on the rear of our bikes and use Panniers for our daily commute but I guess we will probably
need front bags as well.

Thanks again

Hmm no idea where to send you in that case really, I got some well priced ortlieb racks from
mainpeak, and they have some club membership which makes it even cheaper.

Clive at Mercer Cycles in Fremantle sells touring equipment (including a large variety panniers)
should be able to help you.
