Stockists of both Lapierre and Specialized bikes?

WithCheesePlease

I'm going to use this CTW scheme to treat myself to a pretty decent hybrid. Will be used primarily for the commute to work (~5 miles each way) and for the odd short hop and leisure cycle. I'm pretty much torn between a Specialized Sirrus Comp and a Lapierre RCR 300.

Anyway... anyone know of a shop (in Dublin) that stocks both? I'd like to see both side by side and get the unbiased opinion of the dude in store. And not have a salesperson in a shop try to just convince me to go for whichever they stock.

Thanks.

Pretty sure only CSS stock Lapierre.

Unfortunately just because a shop may stock both, it does not mean they are unbiased. Shocking I know.

Do your online homework, read reviews, customer opinions, get advice on here, etc. The make a trip to both cyclesuperstore and maybe cycleways and sit on both. Go for whichever one your prefer based on all this.

In the end you have it down to 2 choices from 2 shops, so it's not like you are going in asking "excuse me sir, I have this large pile of money burning a hole in my wallet and wish to buy a bike for commuting".
