    Hi all,

    I live in Scotland and I'm going to visit Perth in about 3 weeks. I
    want to buy a bike when I'm there, and it will be mainly for
    touring/fitness.

    It would be good if I could browse the wares of Perth-based bike shops
    using the Web. However, I've found it pretty tough going finding
    suitable sites this evening!

    So far I've looked at Cyclerama, which was good. I also looked at Bike
    Force and "Fleet Cycles", which is not up and running.

    Does anyone have other suggestions?

    Much obliged,

    David

    I visited Perth when I was in Scotland too. I'm not sure why
    you are asking in an Australian newsgroup :-)

    depends on where you will be staying while in Perth, it is one the most
    sprawling cities and with an extremely low population density

    Get on the phone and have a chat to one of the shops. There's not too much
    of a language barrier so you'll understand each other (unless you're from
    Fife). 🙂

    You'll get a lot better service out of a person than a web site,
    particularly as I've yet to come across a Perth bike shop web site that is
    any good as they have, quite rightly I think, decided that they can best
    serve people in person.

    I've dealt with Vicki (or Vicky?) at Bike Force in South Perth a few times
    in person, and she's very helpful.

    i would recommend either bikeforce, south perth or glen parkers, nedlands. Bikeforce doesnt have the range of parkers though. Mainly trek distrobuted stuff.

    Consider TBE if you have a bottomless wallet.

    Believe it or not I went to primary school with a Jodie Walsh, but I'm
    thinking that it's not the same girl.
