Well I used to think that too! But not anymore.

I was planning on buying Giant or Merida branded cycle for my personal use but it turns out that Red Rooster Racing in Bangy are the only chaps who deal in Giants for our great nation of India. Also further communication with them reveled that [A] The particular cycles which I was considering are not available in India

[B] The cycles which are comparable to the ones I was considering are available at a 4 times the price that of mainland PRC.

Now given that I am a student who is still actively wasting his fathers hard earned money

I dont think buying something for India was an option given that the giants are forever and have a better range and service/dealer network in china then that of any India based motorcycle manufactures.

Anyways I am returning to India next month and I am relying on Annexure 4 of the 2006 baggage rules amendment stating that an Indian citizen returning to motherland after an period of 2 years is allowed to bring back personal items(which includes non motorized bicycles) worth up to 75,000 rupees. And yeah a peek-a-boo of what I am bring back
