I have just picked up my bike and fitted most of the gear I need to have on it, like side stand, odometer, and the thing for my new handle bar bag. Tomorrow I am off.
I will start with a train South a few hours just to get out from the city. Don't fancy riding through all of Bangkok. Have not figured out exactly where to go by train, but trust the girls at Hua Lamphong will have some idea.
I ended up buying the Trek 3900, which is a simpler and cheaper model than the 4300 I actually wanted. This is a bit heavier and has somewhat simpler gears, still Shimano though. The bike cost me 11 000 Baht, less than 300 Euros.
Last time I was in Thailand I met a Dutch girl who had that same model, and she was very pleased with it. She had meant to sell it back to the shop but liked it so much she decided to take it home.
