Hi all, just signed up to the forum. Whereabouts is the shop with all the bikes shown in the link above? Sorry I can't read chinese characters :s

Also can anyone also point out other bike shops around the Puxi area?

Thanks!

Should I be careful of knock off parts? Or is it pretty much safe to say parts sold at most bike shops are genuine with warranty?

^Definitely. If I have time this weekend, I'll check out 27bike at Urumqi

If you are interested, there are few other shops worth a look with more exotic choices....

Went to Labici, the Giant store near Labici and Bikehome. Here's my initial impression for the benefit of other newbies like myself :)

Labici does stock some exotic (read expensive) bikes. Fairly good selection. Sales person was friendly too, although I was just enquiring. They look to be authorised dealers for Commencal (sweet looking bikes btw)

The Giant shop nearby Labici is on the expensive side. They do stock a fair amount of Giant bike and frames. Mostly Giant, I didn't really notice other makes.

Eric you're right. Bikehome was probably the best shop so far. They have a good selection of parts and decent pricing. Not sure about the customer service since I was just browsing but they look friendly. I was hoping that they had complete Giant bikes but i only saw Treks. They do have Giant frames and other brands (I'm guessing they are local ones).

The shops here do a decent job so no worries!

Below US retail, that's a pretty good deal. I am looking towards mid-high end setup, nothing professional level or anything. So components may be the way to go.

Btw how is the quality of assembly at the local bike shops? I assume they know their stuff and are experienced enough to put together a bike.

Thanks :)

Btw Eric, is it more worthwhile (in China) to buy a complete bike or frame + components and have a LBS assemble it? Thanks again!

It's better to buy seperately because you can get really good parts below (U.S)retail price. Then again, it really depends on what you have in mind as well.... if you are planning to buy a entry/mid level bike, it's better to purchase a complete bike for it's value for money package... mid or top notch stuff are better bought seperately. Hopes this helps!
