  1. 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.
