Hi,
I am keen to do a cycling trip in Argentina in Dec 07. Does anyone have any ideas on whether it is possible/where to buy a decent mountain bike and cycling gear in BA? Also, is it possible to get decent camping gear (eg tent) in BA, or am I better off to bring stuff from home?
Cheers

* I have just found a place that sells "second hand bikes" on Mexico, between Tacuari and Piedras. Prices for what was on offer ( cruisers and a singlespeed mountain bike ) started at about US$50.00 but you should be able to haggle.

122 Rodriguez Peña Street.

Corner of Mexico and Tacuari Streets.

Thanks everyone. I just bought a bike from the Trek showroom out on Libertador. My previous bike was a Trek so I have a soft spot for them.
