Bike hire near Pontremoli

[philg]

We are coming over to Italy ( Northern Tuscany ) in May to watch the Giro D'Italia and we need to hire some road bikes. I am not sure how many bikes we will need, at the moment we will need 4 or may be 5 bikes for a week, and 1 bike for 2 days, the bikes need to be of a certain standard, at least ,ultegra 9/10 speed groupset, and carbon or aluminum frames and carbon forks, with bottle holders, we will be staying in Gravagna Montale ( near Pontremoli ). The dates are from 12th till 19th. I am looking for a place who can supply us with the bikes, and ideally deliver them or if it's not too far we can come and pick them up.

Can anybody help ?

Thanks !

Dear philg,

It sounds like a great trip. Even though I don't personally like biking, but my husband loves it and we watch the Giro d'Italia every year .

On the Massa-Carrara Tourist Board Office's website (APT Massa-Carrara) there is a list of all bike rental shops in the area. Unfortunately I'm not able to tell you if these shops rent the bikes you are looking for. I found out that the shop "Cicli Maggi" in Massa might rent professional bikes, but not sure.

I strongly recommend you contact the shops directly and talk to them. You can also email the APT Massa-Carrara and ask them for more suggestions.

I hope my suggestions are helpful - don't hesitate to ask if you have further questions!
