hi, i am curious if you know of any good bike shops in seoul? i'll be getting into korea in a few days and i'd like to shop around a bit. i'm familiar with seoul, so any advice (or a google maps link) would be appreciated.
i'd love to find a nice used bike, if possible (i'm talking something quality--not Korex...haha).
Well, Here are a couple of links. Craigslist always seems like it's way overpriced but you could have a look. People expect to get ridiculous returns on their rusty junk there. Some shops also sell second hand. I know of a few. These websites may only have specialist new bikes, but you might as well look: http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=11799660100&topic=4306

Sunday, March 29, 2009 Introducing Hank Dirkins I got a great email from my friend Hank Dirkins last night. After conferring with him, we agreed the email should be preserved for posterity on the everlasting etherwebs. So here is the first guest entry on A Full Pannier. From: Hank Dirkins To: Lanny Hoff Sat, Mar 28, 2009 at 11:59 PM Subject: First 100 Mile Week Hi, Lanny -I just got drunk at your house. I am now drunk back at my house. Ya see, I finished my ride from the university this afternoon at almost exactly 94 miles for the week. After dinner, bath-time, my wife's workout at the gym, a bong hit, and an hour and a half of graduate school homework, I decided I wanted to go get those last 6 miles... (This tale continues)
1. What is up with those cards in the spokes? I know it's fashion, but count me out, suckas -- my spokes are card-free. Not that I ride a fixie. I'm a 20-speed road-bike man. 2. Why don't fixie riders wear helmets? It's dangerous out there! 3. Fixed-gear bikes are very cool looking -- simple, elegant. But they strike me as inefficient -- you know, One Gear to Rule Them All, which, on hills, kind of sucks. 4. I'm going to buy one in the near future.
