 |
|
I'm a 6'2/188cm tall male, and I'm looking to buy a road bike. The problem is that every bike shop I go to has 56 cm at the largest, and they can't order any larger (for example, Trek Korea and Giant Korea don't import anything larger than "medium", which is 56 cm).
I want to spend between 1-1.5 million, Shimano Tiagra components (I've done my research, and it seems that Sora is no good and 105 isn't worth the extra money for what I need a bike for).
I've been to a lot of bike shop websites and called even more. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it. |

Why don't you order from an online retailer from the the US or UK? You WILL get hit with custom charges for importing it into Korea, but the bike will definitely fit you.
I order alot of stuff from www.jensonusa.com and www.chainreactioncycles.com and if I keep the total of the shipment to less than $150 USD I never get hit with custom charges. |

| I'm thinking of doing that, but how much does customs charge? 5%? Or does it depend on the value of what you ordered? |
