Anyone know where there is a good bicycle shop in the seoul area.
I am looking for some apehangers (gotta get my hands up) and some springer forks. I don't want to trick my bike out totally, but I would like to get away from the junkbucket look.

now that wasn't too hard was it

actually just to update that thread... it seems that there are a few bike shops springing up in that area on the right hand side of the road between Samgakji and Shinyongsan.

There are now at least two others, one at Samgakji station and another, which I'd personally recommend, run by a young guy between the crummy dingy one I mentioned in the thread above and the one Wangja mentions in the thread above - it's about three doors down from the crummy one in fact as you head towards the bridge.

And Simon, if not that same one at Samgakji station, there looks to be a new shop, a little hidden - south-west exit, head west, south side of the flyover, opposite the new apartment complex. This is not visible from the main road.
