On Rama IV just past Silom, it's next to the HSBC Bangkok Branch. There is also a Fuji Japanese restaurant there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfchandler Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I found and stopped by the other day the Bike Zone shop in the Amarin Plaza center, which is located between the Siam/Central and Chidlom BTS stations. The shop is located on the 2nd floor, in what the center calls it's "Outdoor Unlimited Zone," which basically is to the back rear and left as you enter from the Skytrain walkway. They sell new and used bikes, and various accessories and clothing items. Likewise, they have a service department, and I saw their service price menu that offered all the expected/needed things, up to and including an overall tuneup service that I believe was priced at 500 baht.

sendbaht Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Now that's a nice looking bike store JFchanler...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pampal Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Thx for the pics JF. I visited that shop about a year ago and I bought some Sweetskinz tires from Fausto. He's a really nice guy and is Venezuelan. I am glad to see they have more bikes for sale now, when I visited they had 3 or 4 bikes only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanno Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I went to the Bikezone three weeks ago hoping to score some spare parts. However, the two Thai guys in the shop were so obviously not interested in working that we left and went to Probike instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villagefarang Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I was in Bangkok after a long absence and stumbled upon Fausto's shop while exploring my old haunts. I found him quite personable and easy to talk with. Obviously one is better served if he is there. For me it is still more practical to stick with Northern Bike up here in the Rai.

jfchandler Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Just for the record, I don't have any depth of experience, or relationship, with the Bike Zone shop...I've been there once. People here kept referring to it as that shop in Amarin Plaza, but no one that I saw had mentioned the name or any detail. So after I went there searching and found it, I figured I'd post the details here so others would know. The day I was there, Fausto was there, and I did buy a couple of small accessory items from him, and we talked a bit. I asked, and he assured me, they could get replacement spokes and tires and such for my 27 inch Schwinn World Sport, which I was happy to hear. He was the only staff person in the shop when I stopped by early afternoon on a weekday. But it was nice that he had a laminated card showing all their different service options and the prices associated with each one... right there on the counter, easy to see. Amarin Plaza, with its focus on designer clothing type stuff, seems a strange place to pick for a bike shop. But as I mentioned above, it is part of an outdoor themed section there on the second floor... And it's close to where I live, making it convenient. PS - Does anyone know any more about the bike shop that people used to talk about in the vicinity of Bumrungrad Hospital... Name...still there... and open???

jfchandler Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Maybe I'll answer my own question.... Here's the place that used to be... Is this the same place that now is located off of Suk Soi 26 near Rama IV??? ThaiCannasia Location: 71/3 Soi Nana Nua (Sukhumvit 3) Contact: 02-253-3454, 01-332-8687, 01-567-8886 The Cannondale Center (Thaicannasia), Bangkok is centrally located on Sukhumvit Soi 3, near Bamrungrad Hospital.

pampal Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 Yes JF it is the same Cannondale ppl, I believe they moved last year. The Thai lady that runs the shop is very nice and they have an excellent service dept. but their Cannondale bikes are too pricey for me. The owner I believe his name is Chris is also a very nice guy and is mostly in Singapore, they also have a shop there. I bought alot of accessories from them over the last 5 years. Good selection of parts and accessories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfchandler Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Pampal, re the Cannondale shop, although they obviously sell Cannondale bikes, can I assume that they are willing to service any/other models... not just Cannondale??? Yes JF it is the same Cannondale ppl, I believe they moved last year. The Thai lady that runs the shop is very nice and they have an excellent service dept. but their Cannondale bikes are too pricey for me.The owner I believe his name is Chris is also a very nice guy and is mostly in Singapore, they also have a shop there.

alwayshavetimeforstupidity Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Thanks for all info on bike shops. Sorry to impose, it seemed relevant but I will start a new blog also. I'm looking for 2 used road bikes ASAP. I can pick up from anywhere in Thailand or arrange delivery - cah is waiting. Ideal sizes will be between 54cm and 58cm for both. Thanks in advance for any help or information. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
