| pendo_davo10:23 UTC12 May 2007 | 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
