Hi

Im thinking about buying a Koga World Traveller in Holland as it will save me about £300. Can anyone recommend a good, english speaking dealer?

thanks

    Would love to but exchange rate means that nobody is importing Kogas in London.

    hello.
    i live in the hague and all the LBS have someone who speaks perfect english..as does pretty much everyone in this country - at least in the west side. Ive been here 3.5 years and (ahem) learnt two words. ..Nothing like integrating locally thats what i say...not much point though when the Mrs is Swedish ;)

    So the 2 words I can share are Fiets (bike) and winkel (shop)......stick that in google.nl and you may be able to answer your own question. Anyway the dealer in a shop in town in The Globe Shopping centre has all of the Koga world travellers and others. Great service but bit pricey for some stuff ...although perhaps fine for fixed price bikes like the one your after. They are right next to Den Haag HS train station - only 25mins on train from Schipol if coiming by air

    The Hopman shop mentioned above is great (I bought my super record there) but Ive never seen tour stuff for sale so you'd need to check...not all their staff have good English but one lad does and I get passed to them when sorting stuff out. Quite bit further south ...although if coming by ferry that might be good. Anyway..bloxdy thousands of bike shops here so you should be fine by checking the brand web site

    Come back on here if you need some travel advise...spend my weekends leaving the Hague (for just about anywhere) so know how to get around etc...

    ps I want one ...and will get one if Im made redundant and have a nice 6 months off...but with 2 race and 2 mtnn bikes the justification is looking a bit thin at the moment
  • Hi

    If its a 57cm that you need, Cyclesense in Tadcaster will be able to supply...

    All other sizes are sold out until October 2010

    You will find that it will be cheaper than buying the bike in Holland too.

    Closed on Wednesday so if you are interested, call Dave on 01937 530303 on THURSDAY
