There are no bike shops in Rome, it's official. Well, I couldn't find any anyway, I was qiute disappointed. But I only looked right in the centre of town, mostly on the east side of the river (basically everything you can see on a small tourist map). I'm sure there must be at least one bike shop in Rome, I just couldn't find it.

Hey Socalrider,

Have a great trip.

I hope you let us know if you find any good deals. I was in Rome over Thanksgiving and the exchang rate was awful ($1.33 to 1 Euro). I didn't see any deals or any bike shops. It was a great trip and I'd love to return.
Have fun.
