    I don't find any shop selling CANYON in dublin. Do you guys have any information?

    Also I'm looking for Trek 1.2 or 1.5 all for bike for work scheme.

    I think my best bet would be canyon roadlite 5.0 but cannot find any off line retailer.

    Appreciate in advance. :)

    I think if I am not mistaken that you can only buy canyon bikes online.I dont live in Dublin but should be easy enough to get a trek.

    Canyon are online only AFAIK. Bear in mind you can buy direct from Canyon under the bike for work scheme unless your employer doesn't want to, there is no restriction on where they can buy the bike.

    Awesome! that's exactly what I've worried about. I'll double check with my HR and go ahead. However, might buying on line give me some disadvantage to maintain my ride when I get in trouble with when fix or free service is needed??

    Most shops are happy to work on any bike, provided that you pay them.

    Asking for a free service might be a bit cheeky though. :)

    Downside of buying online, your not getting a free service from no one. if you need something fixing get it down to your local shop and pay them
    ( or be like some people here and fix it yourself, i'm trueing wheels now takes ages but less hassle than local bike shop)
    i can strip a bike to bare frame if i need to and have all the tools and workstands i need .

    My weather

    It would be less costy and faster for me to learn how to strip/fix my one. I would my hands first if it's not too hard enough. Thanks for advice.;)

    I believe Mr Skeffington offers lessons- look in the Adverts sub-forum.

    this is from my HR "You must purchase a bike from one of the participating bike stores(http://www.biketowork.ie/site/bike-shops/)."

    It seems like my employer doesn't allow me to buy on line..:(
