All suggestions greatly appreciated.

I would prefer not to make the long haul into BK just to get my bicycle repaired

Thanks!

Theres a great bike shop on the way out of town towards the palace, same side as the palace that stocks Trek and a few others.I had my Cannondale serviced by them and stood over them while they did the work.

I used to work in the cycle industry and was pretty impressed (or as much as one can be impressed by a bicycle service) by their work.I wasnt so impressed with their sales speil but thats acompletely different questions. For service, i wouldnt hesitate to recommend them.

I agree with Moonfruit, I was very satisfied with the work they did on my Specialized, that I imported from the US.

It has an English name -- "The Hua Hin Bike Shop."

Fantastic!

Many thanks, Moonfruit & justwilliam!

What a relief! No long trip into BK

Much, much obliged.
