Does anyone know where I can get the above in the Pattaya area please?

 

I know I can go around the various bike  shops in pattaya but due to no car transport becasue of an accident I dont want to trawl all over Pattaya on my motorcycle, especially with the chance of being caught out in the rain

 

 

Also I am  interested in swapping or part exchanging, cash either way , my  new (2 months old)  high end gaming business PC for a  Bicycle  such as an hybrid  29er or similar 15/16 max 17 inch frame  if anyone is interested,  PM me for specs, photos,  the PC would cost in the region of  50.000 Baht and is loaded with Win 10 fully updated and lots of software including windows office, Kodi  Nolimits (where you can stream all of the  live TV and movie streams from all over the world etc) to your big TV

 

Thanks a million.

To answer my own question;

 

I decided to do the rounds of the Pattaya bike shops starting with a local one just off the beginning of nernplubwan where it junctions at the railway bypass road  but this one  didn't  stock a lot of goods so it was a waste of time .

 

Went off down the bypass to Numchai bikes on Sukhumvit, prepared to bite the bullet and pay maybe over the odds.

 If they didn't have any of the Vittoria tyres I would have gone up Suk to Thepprasit and to the other notably surly  lady shopkeeper (I hate giving my dosh to surly and impolite people!)

 

In the event I was pleasantly  surprised that not only did Numchai bikes have what I wanted but the price for the tyres was not bad at all (600 baht for the Vittoria adventure 700 x 320 semi road tyre. this is the one that has a white reflective band all around for night riding) 

 

So I bought:

2 tyres and 2 inner tubes 1400 baht

one puncture repair kit with two tyre levers 100Baht

On set of  front and rear mudguards 300 Baht.

 

Checking the prices on Lazada I was also pleased that Numchai  do well in being very competitive for  what I used to think their over priced bits and pieces  

 

The  Numchai Matriarch was not in attendance either today and I was served with courtesy and good humour by I think children of the numchai empire, what a nice change, the presence of the Matriarch  used to put me off (and Many of my biking friends)  going to shop there previously.
