Anybody know where I can go and have a look at Kuota bikes in Birmingham or the Black Country ?

    Hi Kingrollo

    I got mine from Henry Burton in Stafford. A great LBS which does the cyclescheme & me fitted up. Hope this isn't too far for you and you're not put off by the lack of website though! Send me a PM if you want any more info. All the best.

    A quick Google is all it takes :wink::wink::wink:

    Distributor is DHW Agencies. There is a region map on their website which lists dealers.

    In Brum there is Tri-1st (Harborne)

    There is also Echelon in Pershore - they have a pretty good reputation.

    If you are in Brum, have you had a trip over to Epic Cycles near Tenbury Wells? It would be well worth it if you are looking for a new road bike. Bike-Porn heaven :D:D

    Good luck.
    Gary.

    I know someone said you don't see many kuota bikes.....but this is ridiculous

    Tri Sport - didn't have one on stock

    Henry Burton - don't do test rides

    I don't thnk they do :cry::cry: Everything else but...

    Still worth a visit though.

    Why are you dead set on a Kuota? Is it because of their rarity?

    As giant man says, Paul Hewitt in Leyland definitely does them - and it is worth a trip there just to get a proper fitting done by Paul - even if you don't end up buying a bike from him. It costs £50 but is well worth it - refunded against cost of a bike if you buy it there.

    Good luck,
    Gary.

    Im not actually dead set on the Kuota - its between that and a wilier izoard - I have seen an Izoard - and know I can get a test ride (probably at Epic) - but Kuota is quite a bit cheaper , I like how it looks, at least pictures of it - but want to see in the flesh - before I hand over my cash !
