  1. Just got my son last week.

    This brings this indian quality product to my mind: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=544820458895195&set=a.544719298905311.1073741828.544698088907432&type=1&theater but on your pic I like the position of the rear fender more ...

    Especially the fork seems to be something special: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/801787420/alloy_front_fork_ECA_326ST.html

    Wish you an always safe ride ...

    We see your son ready for being sold. After not a single year ...! Such a hot bike http://classifieds.thaivisa.com/hobbies/sport-and-leisure/hot-bike-for-sale-221126.html ... Did you find something better?

  2. May I bring this issue back to surface again after 15 months? Now more and more VR clips are offered, even in online newspapers/magazines; would like to try it the cheap way first.
    Some advises regarding the fact that I wear glasses?

  3. Have a look here https://goo.gl/maps/TKu7TAS4dQz

    The Google pic doesn't look much and unless there's another bicycle shop next door, the farang co-owner of this shop builds up reliable bikes to order.

    Can only second this; especially the workshop makes a highly competent impression on me (as a two-wheeler engineer). It's my new favourite bike parts shop now.

    For new bikes we prefer Chaithawat due to their wide selection of reasonably equipped and best-priced bikes; bought more than 10 bikes there yet, never disappointed.

  4. Almost every day riding along Alpine Golf Course (25 km SE downtown Chiang Mai) I see the lawn sprinklers over there working without interruption. The forested hills accross the road already turn brownish but the golf lawn looks green like a primary paddy plantation throughout the years.

    I wonder whether this request from highest government level to save water will be followed by the Golf Resort at least from now on ...

  5. Does anybody know where to buy 5 ... 10 stevia (Thai pronounciation: satiwia, หญ้าหวาน, ya waan) seedlings in or around Chiang Mai for a reasonable (about 25 THB/each) price?

    Thanks in advance ...

  6. don't be a "digital activist"......look for real answers.

    whose coming with me to protest in front of bus company's headquarters??

    crickets

    I'ii go with you and anyone else.

    Unfortunately, I don't know the name of the bus company yet.

    In this regard I can help you, WaiLai: Wiraphan Tour (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.250041251676691.81980.158622717485212&type=1). They are obviously members of the - speaking for itself - bus operators advertizing coop CRAZY BUS THAILAND (in Thai letters) (
    ).

    When you plan to protest in front of their headquarter here you find where to go: https://www.facebook.com/pages/วีระพันธ์ทัวร์/306964292746957

    Please let us know when you will go.

  7. For that price for the bike on the pic you can hardly make anything wrong.

    Let your wife make an extended test ride before you buy it; most important is that she feels really well on it. When I look at the design of the top tube I suggest to make sure she can stand on the ground on both feet with the bike between the legs without having fork contact.

    The male crew (sorry ladys ...!)at Anek's (maybe I'm wrong but the pic just looks like it) make an experienced impression to me, and they should be qualified to adjust the bike to the ergonomic needs of your wife as part of the sales service. But she has to speak with them frankly, "kraeng jay" is totally out of place here ...

    Wish both of you an always safe ride.

  8. Just came back, and both of us found the location really nice, and the 4 dishes we had remarkably delicious. Even though it's 20 km away from our place we'll come back soon and recommend "The Mountain" without reservation.

  9. Thai drivers do not care about cyclists!

    This is simply not true. With almost 50'000 cycled km in Thailand on the clock I assure you that I had only very view situations I found threatening by careless drivers. Thais might not care much about other car drivers and motorcyclists but they care about bicycle riders. A day on a bike in Berlin is several times more dangerous than in downtown Chiang Mai.

  10. Invest in a couple of KMC chain connectors. Super simple and available for particular makes and speeds from Chain Reaction or Wiggle. I should imagine they should be easy enough to get in Thailand given the rise of interest in cycling. Google - KMC link

    Had some (brand new) KMC connectors I was not able to close, for some others I needed an angle grinder to open ...

    I recommend SRAM master links. Never failed.

  11. 2 bikes were just stolen from members of my MTB group: A Canyon Strive (most probably unique in Thailand) and a black Cannondale S-Works Fully with Lefty fork (also very rare).
    In case of detecting one of them please send me a PM and try to find out who the rider is and where he goes ...
    Thanks.
