Does anybody know if there is a shop in Pattaya selling decent quality second hand mountain bikes for a fair price?

Thanks in advance

I know of a place in Rayong, just a slight distance form Pattaya.

it is located on Sukhumvitt in Rayong just East by about 20-40 meters or so past the entrance to Home Pro.

Depends I think what you're looking for, a cheap Chinese made one you can just buy of the shops, they are cheap, not worth buying second hand.

If you want a good one, maybe look on Bahtsold.com most likely will have a Farang owner and you will get a better quality.

Don't forget to invest in a good bicycle helmet! (unless you already have one, not a luxury on Thai roads)

No...not looking for any Chinese tesco lotus type bike....looking for a giant or trek or something of the same quality....just thought if there was a shop I could have a look around and see what I like.....I have seen a shop in Chonburi with a good selection of bikes and was wondering of there was a similar type of shop here

Giant and Trek are excellent bikes, have had them both when I was still riding my bikes. Still have the Giant tour bike, must be about 10 years old now but still looks as new. Unfortunately, not what you are looking for.
