I shall be one of those on a really really shoddy rented MTB in a couple of weeks' time. Can't wait. Might well go for a nose round here too: http://www.daricello.it/index2.htm
Well, don't expect too many graceful Merckx-esque figures slicing through the air on a beautiful shiny De Rosa... though i did spot a few good DIY racks made from plastic shopping baskets lifted from supermarkets and a beat-up Pashley (how'd it get there???) that kept me amused.
gutted i missed that bike shop though - looks interesting. if you're going for general tourism, i could give you a few pointers from my Palermo trip...
