Buying a mountain bike

[dvolante9]

Hello all, I am looking to buy a mountain bike and was wondering if anyone knew how much a decent one sells for? Also I am 6'4" and am wondering if they have any for my height?

I am sure you will be able to buy one for your size as there are a number of shops. Price will depend on where you go. Hua Hin is probably the most expensive. Tha Yang I understand is cheaper but the people who run the shop in Pranburi also have a shop in Tha Yang and prices are less than Hua Hin. Obviously a really good one is expensive but I think you can get a reasonable one for between ten and twenty thousand baht. There are others here who will have a better idea. Lots of shops around and more information if you search the forum. My novice friendly bike by 'Alton' was 13.5k from Pranburi. As usual, haggling will affect the price.

There's quite a good cycle shop in between HH and Cha Am, it's about 15kms out from HH on the LHS. The people that run it are both very knowledgable and helpful and they have bikes in all price ranges - can't remember the name, but it's the only one in the area and about 3-4 km's before you get to Thai Watsadu.

10-20k when I was in China a good quality bike was only around 3000 baht...I will have a look around at the shops you guys mentioned thank you very much for the assistance!

You can get a half decent bike at the shop I mentioned for 7-8000 baht, but a good one will be double and more.

Perhaps if you are more specific about what you mean by decent you will get a better idea. Gearsets, hard or soft tail, well known or other manufacturer etc. As I said, mine is a Korean but with Shimano gearset (two levers each side, one to go up, one to change down), disc brakes, sturdy frame (I am 'well built'), quick release wheels, hard tail and suspension front. I am not into the cycling thing as much as some others as displayed by my description and have avoided mentioning too many shops. The one Dannie Boy mentions is good as he says and others are mentioned in other threads, a search will help you there.
