Title: Cheap Cycles
Post by: philrose on June 01, 2004, 08:15:34 AM

I know a few people on this community were looking for Cycles.
One of the supermarkets (Gima I think) had 21 speed mountain bikes on sale when I was there a2 weeks ago, :)they worked out at around for around £36.00. The build and spec seemed quite reasonable for the price. :)

We had seen a few in the town when we were last over - we had been thinking of bringing ours from the UK but it is definitly not worth it. The local ones looked very good.
Also thinking of getting a scooter - good prices and very good value.

With the state of some of the roads around Çalis I'd recomend a Crash Helmet with that ;)

... and good front and rear shocks - plus a saddle built for comfort!

We bought our bikes last September. We looked at Migros and all the shops in Fethiye around the market and top road. The majority of the bikes we looked at were cheap and good value in comparison to UK prices but were very basic. As Sinbad said - on Turkish roads you definately need shocks and a decent saddle. We finally found our bikes outside an electrical shop at the bottom end of the top road in Fethiye - I can't remember the make but its the same make as the police use.
They are really decent bikes - cost a bit more but worth every penny (lire)Mine cost about £90 and Brian's about £85.00.

Raff,

I can just imagine you two pedaling like mad with your blue lights flashing!

Or have I got the wrong Police? Does Sting have a mountain bike?

Raff - sounds about where we bought ours too!

We don't have flashing blue lights unfortunately, but my bike is fitted with dynamo lights! I've remembered the make - "Bianchi" - sounds Italian but I'm not sure where they are made. Excellent bikes though - at least your arse isn't in shreds after cycling along the coast road to Fethiye! We also got a free servicing thrown in after we had used the bikes for a couple of weeks.
