2132.0. "Good mountain bike shop around Boston?" by XANADU::DAIAN () Wed Nov 20 1991 11:44

    		Hi bikers,
    
    
    	I'm French, and I'm currently in Nashua for the week. I'd like to
    use the opportunity to be there to buy a mountain bike. Yesterday
    I went downtown Nashua in Goodale's shop, but they didn't have that
    much choice/stock. I was looking for a bike with suspensions. Does
    someone know a place around Boston where they may have this kind of
    bike? If yes, could you please tell me the way to get there?
    
    Thanks a lot,
    
    JB

	Gamache's in Fitchburg, Mass., is a good shop, but I don't know about their MTB selection. Fitchburg is on Route 2A probably about 30 miles southwest of ZK. Ask around for a map if you're interested or give them a phone call. -john
2132.2	Check out 1763.*	TOOK::C_PEREZ	The InFAMous Eight	`Wed Nov 20 1991 13:35`	8
	RE: .0 JB, Check out note 1763.* there's a good list of shops to check there from someone in a similar postion as you. I can't speak for who will carry bikes with suspensions but a few phone calls should tell you who to go and visit... Craig
2132.3	By in NH no TAX!!	SALEM::SHAW	Freedom is skiing solo...!	`Wed Nov 20 1991 14:09`	15
	JB, If you have a car you might be better off shopping in New Hampshire remember NO state tax, this will save you a few dollars to put towards accessories. Cycle City in Plaistow, has some real nice mountain bikes. They also have a few with SHOX they carrie KLIEN and have some top of the line TREKs, they also have Aluminum and carbon composite frames. They are located on route 125 in Plaistow and although I don't have the phone number with me, they are in the Yellow pages. They have a racing track not too far from the store and a team. So they are pretty informative as far as frame and components are concerned. Shaw

The only condition was that I had to take it out of the store on the box it was delivered in. No great hardship as I was taking it back to the U.K. on the plane anyways. Therefore, I would sugeest you concentrate on finding the right shop and not worrying about the sales tax. Cheers, Tim

	You can never tell about sales taxes and the willingness of dealers to help you avoid, but try. If you want to call some shops, here are some NH shops, call to see if they have anything first. A.T.

	Not to nit pick, (but I will) Gamache's is on rt. 12 in Fitchburg P.S. I know it's probably too late to help.
