    Garys on quay street and one in retail park beside argos and mothercare (name escapes me at mo). Couple of Uk based sites are wiggle and chainreactions, both do free delevery here on selected items.

    The only thing with buying them online is building them. I've done it before and I/we never do it right. I got one in Halfords a few weeks ago and they build them FOC as well as a 3 month check. It was around €100 for a BMX type 20" bike.

    Hope that €100 included the cost of the bike as well

    I bought in Flanagans for my son recently, can't speak highly enough of them. Fantastic service, my son was cycling round the car park on half a dozen bikes, young lad working there was lovely, would highly recommend them.
