Default Buying a road bike in Singapore

Anyone got any recommendations for good road bike shops in Singapore? I am based in Australia and looking for a bike here currently but will be in Singapore next month and am wondering if it would be worthwhile buying there instead.

Hi, it depends on how much you want to spend and the brand of bike.
e.g. if it is a Cervelo, the cost saving is only about AUD$300-400.

And there would not be much saving in getting a bike less than SGD$2K vs getting one here. Not worth the trouble and risk (of getting taxed at the airport or having the bike damaged in transit).

The list of shops in Sg can be accessed here:

However, there are savings to be had getting accessories like Helmets, bags, tools, shoes and lights.

Thanks. Yes, was looking around the SGD$2k mark and take your point. Also, I would like to buy all items together to increase my (limited) bargaining power.
