I've used the search function and the last time a question like this was asked was back in 2014.
Sadly, the main bike shop mentioned, Walkers Cycling, seems to have gone out of business since then.
Anyhoo...
I have a "significant birthday" on the horizon and I've decided (with SWMBO's permission) to celebrate by indulging myself (for once, and once only!) and buying one of those strange coloured, over priced, Italian pieces of cycling desirability - a Bianchi.
Yes, I could probably get a better bike for less money from the likes of Canyon but I have always admired Bianchis and since I very much have more years behind me than I have ahead of me, I've decided to let my heart have some say in the decision and not just my head!
I'm wondering if anyone knows of or could recommend a dealer in the West of Scotland. The Bianchi dealership list basically throws up Evans and a couple of independent cycle shops who barely seem to mention Bianchi on their own websites.
I'd like to do it properly (since its an expensive purchase) and ideally go along to a dealer to discuss the options, hear their recommendations and obviously make sure the sizing is correct for me.
I have a Oltre XR3 Disc in mind. I looked at the Infinito but I already have 2 sportive/endurance style geometry bikes and fancy something a bit more spirited!
Any advice gratefully received.
