I haven't really any idea about bikes, but my mates are riding canondales and my mountain bike does not cut the mustard. I think I need something with a graphite frame at least. Is there any websites for good import bikes in Thailand and maybe an online bike size calculator.

Cheers

Have a look at probike http://www.probike.co.th/ It's a great bike shop for both mtb and road bikes. They have a store right next to lumpini park.

Check out BikeZone.co.th, it's just down the road from Probike, worth a look if you're visiting them!

They stock some nice Marin road bikes, could of friend have them and LOVE EM...

Cannot see any photo of them on the website thou.

Also in Bangkok you have World Bikes in the building that houses the HSBC Bank. They sell Specialised and Colnago. In fact as a cyclist of 50 years experience, I would suggest Specialised over some of the others. I am not a great lover of Trek for a host of reasons. On the web the largest mail order store is Chain Reaction Cycles (in N Ireland) but there are oter resources too. But in my opinion best to go into the shop and get a perfect fit. The Specialised shop would do this. I have used ProBike over the last 15 years and have found their staff lacking in knowledge and only interested in the 'sale'. If you are in Chiang Mai you could do no better than TCA Bikes - if you look on the web they have a big place somewhere in BKK selling Bianchi Bikes.
