Bike (bicycle) shop in calcutta?

Hey does anyone know of any bike shops in calcutta? I'm looking for a high quality moutain bike for cycling around the himalayas and expect terrain to be rough in some areas. It dosnt need to be, but I would prefer a western brand bike I am familiar with as I'm unsure of any indian made bike build quality. I have up to $800-$900 dollars and need it to have at least 21 gears! (very important) Also probably need some puncture repair kit and spaire inner tubes any advice welcome
cheers

Not in Calcutta, but still worth a look...
