Re: Trek 520 from Scandinavia or Germany? - 11/03/03 09:46 PM
We have plenty of bike shops here in Helsinki, from wich many sell also Trek bikes. But, as 520 is not in Finnish Trek importers selection, they will not have it around here.
Finding quality bikes and components surely is not a problem here, just that they dont have the frikkin 520!
I decided to buy the bike from Los Angeles. It retails there 999USD, wich is roughly 880 euros. A german shop I contacted offered it to me for 1700 euros (+ the shipping charges...)!
Buying the bike from the US is a lot cheaper option, even after taxes, as transatlantic flights charge no extra for a bike as part of my luggages.
Thank you all so much!
And the weather in Helsinki is now very wet and dark, and temperature is about +4 celsius. (monday 3.10.2003 23.45)
