Does anyone know the best place to buy pushbikes in the calis area,any info greatly appreciated.
-
The 2 bike shops on the Baris Manco Boulevard are well stocked, but not sure on prices.
:)
-
The one at side of the pork shop seems to get more customers than the other one and his after sales is very good
-
We bought 2 bikes from the one next to the pork shop about 3 years ago. His after sales service is exceptionally good. Prices very comparable as well. :)
-
At the moment the other bike shop has the better range of bikes. However this could change in the next few months as the guy who has the bike shop next to the pork shop is planning a massive extension with a large showroom and a full range of bikes. Well that is what he told me last month, of course this is Turkey, so it may never happen!

There was a post on this a little while ago, but I can't find it.
Lykia2go is a good shop, I have bought 2 Salcano bikes there, the owner speaks good english. This is along the main road between Calis and Fethiye.
Also along that road, opposite the Zakuum restaurant is another shop. The owner and his wife run the Fethiye cycling group. He has a good range of bikes too incuding Specialized, Scott and Giant, selling urban, road and racing bikes. I use him now to service my Scott and have been happy with his service. He is Romanian and speaks a little English and would recommend this shop.
The prices for both shops compare with UK prices, but the after sales (service etc) are considerably better value than the UK. If you are looking for a decent bike and a good choice, then I would have a look at both of these shops. Otherwise there are bike shops both in Fethiye and Calis that sell cheaper makes, which are basic, lower quality, so it depends on how long you want to the bike to last and what you need it for.

We bought ours (both new Salcano's) from the shop in Fethiye near the main Migros store - on the opposite side of the main road to Migros a little further out of town (maybe Lykia2go).
Costs were less than UK equivalent and the bikes have good equipment (Shimano gears etc) rather than some of the cheaper bikes that have less reliable kit.
We were told to take them back after 2 weeks riding for a check up - which in our case was 6 months later on our next visit to Turkey - they were more than happy to do the check up even after all that time.
I wouldnt hesitate to but from them again.

I used Ali to service my borrowed bike last year, excellent service & very cheap too! Found him to be helpful & friendly even though he knew it was only going to be a service as opposed to a sale.
His shop is the one just up from PJ's so NOT the one next to the Pork Shop who tried to rip me of with the price of hiring a bike!
-
by the pork shop in calis and fair price and also he can do repairs
-
Thanks for your replies,have given the Mrs a notebook so she doesnt forget anything lol ;D
-
Does anyone have a contact for either of the shops in calis just thinking of changing the bikes we have and wanted to get in touch with them both too see if we would get better deal for lire or sterling considering the current rate for the lire
-
I do not have a phone number but Apu who is at the side of the pork shop will do a part exchange and does excellent after sales backup. As for the previous post that said Apu tried to rip him off, I suspect this is either a misunderstanding or a problem with the language. This is the first derogative report I have heard against him. No I do not get commission and no I am not his pal, just a satisfied customer.

I support the last comment, we had a good deal on 2 bikes and service has been first class especially puncture repair!
