Hey everybody...
Most of you at some point or other have mentioned that you'd be interested in buying new bikes or upgrading the ones you've got. And some of you know that I've started working for Ciclos Otero, Madrid's oldest bike club, coordinating their new "cycling club for NORMAL people".
The official launch date of the club is the 15th of September and to celebrate, we're knocking 15% off the price of everything in the store, and that includes bikes. So if you've been thinking about getting a bike, buying some kind of bike clothing or accessories or just buying some new components for the bike you've got, be sure to stop by.
Oh, and if you stop by next Friday, apparently Marisol (Otero) is going to have her traditional Madrid limonada, but be careful how much you drink or it'll mean crawling home on your hands and knees....
Any questions, let me know!!

i actually bought ena and myself mountain bikes at otero years ago.
to be honest, i later found out that they were more expensive than most and for the same products so the 15% off will be cool. i simply did not shop around enough back then.
that was years ago so maybe things have changed.
they did offer great service however and were very helpful
by the way Candy, you may want to put the address of the shop in on this thread just because it is the oldest bike shop in madrid does not mean we all know where it is
or is it there in your post above and i missed it?
