Today I bought a pair of flat pedals from the Fire Fox store in the city for eight hundred bucks. These are black and alloy material. Quite heavy. I might graduate to clipless pedals at some point in time in future. But for now these will do.
From Bhanubhai Desai, I bought a set of allen keys (Taparia) and a set of star keys. These tools (costing Rs 300 and Rs 160 respectively) are important in that if you don't have them you cannot manage with anything else. And modern bicycles have quite a few screws that will need these keys.
I had intended to buy a helmet also. But the Firefox grey helmet was Rs 2600, which is why I had to postpone the idea of buying it today as I was short of cash. Perhaps another day. Let me check the Merida price too.
I took a look at the pumps available at the shop. Firefox. Rs 1400 for the one with a gauge. That cannot be strapped on to the bike though. The strappable one is Rs 1000. But it looked pretty useless. Problem with these items is you cannot check them out before buying.
