Quality Bike shops in Budapest

I've been looking into this as well (planning to spend about half a million forints on a decent bike in the next week or two). Came across this one that I went into a few weeks ago

biondobike.hu/

If you find any other shops I'd also be interested to check them out.

the roads are so lousy

I shipped my hand build road bike here. It is still in the packing container, un-assembled. The road quality did have a bit to do with that decision. There is a nice bike lane around the lake here, but even it has cracks and bumps from tree roots. I finally simply finally broke down, joined "the other side" and bought a mountain bike here last year.

any recommendation for a decent "other side" second-hand mountain bike shop you could suggest? :-)

You might find a dealer with a used bike at :

csekert.hu/szakuzletek

and for parts:

There's a Trek bike store in the 5th district.

I just buy things from Evans Cycles online and have them posted here. They have fairly inexpensive and fast shipping to Hungary: www.evanscycles.com I actually bought my bike from them and had it posted here. Took five days, and I got great customer service, including them paying me back for the cost of getting a professional to put it together properly (I'm a dunce with tools).

Can you tell me where the Trek shop is in dist 5? Or is there a website for it?

Thanks.

Here you go:

Ahhh of course. trek.hu would be the obvious website

Anyway, too late for me now. I bought one of these this morning from the shop I mentioned

That Willier is . Bought one of their single speeds last year... good quality bikes.

Thanks for the feedback on the bike stores guys... if I come across any others I'll post on here.

Cheers
