I'm going to be in Barcelona for a few days next week - does anyone have any bike shop recommendations?

Thanks.

There`s a pretty cool french guy behind the bar that rides fixed and most of the mechanics are on fixies as well.

Fixed wheel culture is not that popular here in Barcelona (I`m here at the moment) and the few chaps into this here are very receptive!

They sell Deda, Dura-Ace and Miche track stuff at this shop.

There`s another secret place with vintage stuff as well, but I`ll have to find it again...I forgot the address.
There`s a picture of the window on my blog with a Zeus (Spanish answer to Campagnolo) equipped columbus track frame.

Price wise, is it worth picking stuff up over there rather than here?
Or, as it's less common, does that work the other way 'round?

BLB rules or less interest=less mark-up?

Price wise it's a bit cheaper...

Bag with 5 chainring bolts in London (taiwan) = 5.00GBP
Bag with 5 chainring bolts in Barcelona (taiwan) = 4.00EUROS

Ok, it's cheaper here, but there aren't that much variety as in Lunden.

The complete vintage track bike was going for around 1000 EUROS

Nice vintage road bike (campy + shimaNO bits, etc) for around 300 EUROS

I got my MICHE cranks for around 89 euros at Spaibici last X-mas.
