XL Helmet, goggles, large men's jacket (I'm 6'), other protective clothing. Also dust cover, lock, rack, WHY. I'll pay you a fair price for nice stuff in near-new condition. (not sweaty etc.)

OP, there is a wonderful shop in Toegyero 5-ga (between Chungmuro station and Dongdaemun Stadium station) that I buy all my accessories from. They have good prices and their customer service rocks. It's a family run place and the daughter is a uni student who speaks English. She is often there and will help you or translate your technical questions.

I have summer riding jackets (pads inside, too) from there that were less than 100,000 on sale. My locks (brake lock and thick chain) were about 10-15,000. I got rain gear for 25,000. My helmet (Korean Xpeed brand) was 70,000.

The store is next to the Arai helmet shop. They often have some jackets (some used, too) outside on the sidewalk. If you walk in and see the stairs to the upstairs on your right lined with leather bike luggage, you are in the right place.

I have been to that motorcycle shop. The daughter is very helpful when she is around.

Actually, I broke down and bought a new helmet with shield from a place near Chungmuro for 62k, so it's all good.

Bibbitybop,

You wouldn't have a phone number for that shop would you? I'll be in Seoul for a quick visit this weekend and would like to go directly to the place, if possible.

Thanks

Yeah, I could use the number.

I'll be up this coming weekend, (Mar. 14-16) w/ my Korean G/F. We won't have much time. So I want to be able to take a taxi straight there. I want to get her a riding jacket and check out the helmets.

Thanks for your help.

btw what does everybody do for facemasks (for the bad Seoul air)? I looked at a couple, but they didn't look like much more than glorified surgical masks. I'd like to get something really effective.

[lion]

one more: I'd like to get a really really bright replacement headlight installed. Anybody had anything like that done, and where did you get it done?

[deizio]

GMarket is good 'n cheap for locks, gloves etc. Might want to check out jackets and helmets in person.

The store's number is (02) 2274-0752

If you are walking from Chungmuro Station toward Dongdaemun Stadium station, the store will be on your left.

From what the card says, I think the official name of the store is "Woosin." I just look next to the Arai helmet shop.
