Looking to buy a roadbike in dublin. Can anyone recommend some good shops around Dublin? Based in stillorgan but can travel. For a woman ~5 foot 7!

Did a search but can only find threads from 4+years ago on shops around Dublin area

Pop along to Fitzcycles, there only up the road from you. I was very happy with the service from them.

Or try Hollingsworth a little further up the road good guys and a much better selection of bikes, I think fitzcycles only carry two brands.

Harry's bikes in clonskeagh are decent too , it'd be worth browsing online , and see what brand would you like and check what bike shop stocks them and travel to try it , I wouldn't buy a particular bike brand just because a bike store near me stocks it . As I said , research bikes on line find one that you like and make sure the frame is going to suit the type of riding you plan on doing .
Good luck with your search .

eeeee

Top Bicycle shop out in Clontarf are lovely, really helpful and give great advice. There are a load of helpful bike shops about but I'm not sure about their bike selections. CycleBike on Mary's Abbey (orange shop!) seem to have a good bike selection, they're nice in there too. Go to a few and try them out. Bike shopping is fun!

I'd usually recommend a lbs, but you should at least look in giant on the long mile road and cycle superstore off the Greenhills road in Tallaght
to size them and talk to enthusiastic sales staff.

If you don't have cycling shorts, its worth trying (and probably buying) cycling shorts.
As a man who got bib shorts this year, I'd definitely recommend these, but I'd canvass women before spending big money.

I got my last road bike in Cycleways, tried a couple of sizes on the turbo trainer before I ordered it. Didn't go for a women's bike in the end (Specialized Tarmac) but they swapped out the saddle and handlebars I chose after having a fitting.

Base to race in fashion city ballymount can't do enough for you not sure if they stock entry level bikes depends what your after but there high end stuff is great with plenty of models on the floor to view and try out models such as Cervelo,specialised,giant,storck,bianchi,Aragon,there website is good if you want a few idea's

I have received great service from both Joe Daly cycles in Dundrum and Fitzcycles in Stillorgan - both convenient to you.

I live in Stillorgan. My suggestion are Fitzcycles, Stillorgan or Joe Daly Cycles. Dundrum.
