Title: Road bike wanted in June.
Post by: OnlyOneIanRobertson on May 24, 2016, 22:24.

Good evening guys,

I'm coming over in around 4 weeks time and I'm looking for a road bike to use while I'm there, does anyone know if any bike hire shops are in the local area or anyone that is willing to loan for a price?

If at all possible I want to avoid shipping mine over just for a week, but keen to have one while I'm over there.

I'm looking for a 56" mens road bike with SPD pedals, doesn't matter the brand but reasonably lightweight if possible.

Any help greatly appreciated.

I enquired of my Son in Law, a bike fanatic who hired one for a trip up to Guadalest. :o

"I went with these guys, http://cyclogicalcostablanca.com/ but that was a bit of a punt and partly based on not really wanting to discuss the intricacies of road bikes in Spanish. They're ok, the bikes are fairly basic and from English suppliers. Over in Torrevieja there's bike mania who are very well reviewed and seem to be doing slightly better machinery: http://www.bike-mania.es/ (website is currently being rebuilt by the look of it, there's a phone number or a facebook page you could reach them on by the looks of it)."

There's usually a fair few at Lumsdens auctions at Formentera.  The prices you can pick stuff up for may make it worthwhile buying.
(eg Just bought another set of golf clubs there - 30 Eurus + 10% premium +vat on premium.)
