Looking for mountain bike <5jt. ; Size: Large

**nd_eric_77** · 02-08-11, 20:02

I am searching for an affordable, reliable mountain-style bicycle. Have seen several decent-looking Mongoose units at ACE Hardware, BUT... they only seem to carry S or M sizes. At 186 cm, I definitely prefer a size L bike. A friend of mine owns a bike shop, but he caters to a higher-end client than myself (often sells individual components; his cheapest "complete" bike starts at 7jt.

So, any recommendations on where I might find an affordable large-sized bicycle? Jakarta-Barat or surrounding areas is definitely preferred. Many thanks.

First of all, I wouldn’t bike any bike from Ace Indonesia because the customer cannot fully test ride the bicycle. Try these places below for your bike:

P.D. MINI
Jl.Kapt.Tendean No.18B Fax/Ph 7993129

SBK Bicycle PD.
Sinar Bangka, Pusat Niaga Roxy Mas Blok C3/31,

Komp. Roxy Mas (not a name of the bike shop, just location)
At Roxy have several bike stores that sell low end to high end bikes: Giant, Trek, etc. The prices are very competitive.

Happy Bike
Jl. Fatmawati (aka Diamond). You need to go inside and drive around. It is located in back in a ruko. Can't miss it as bikes are parked outside the shop.

Park Bike (sp)
Locate at Jl. Fatmawati next to the Bridgestone tire shop. Primarily, high-end down hill bikes; Jamis, Yeti, etc.

Build A Bike
Jl. Iskandar (north of Pondak Indah Mall and same side). Sells mainly Specialized bikes from USA and local United brand.

Roda Link
Jl. Iskandar (north of Pondak Indah Mall and further down from Build A Bike). Sells Dahon bikes.

Please be advised to fit/size the bike yourself. I once bought a Trek bike at Roxy Mas and I found out later the bike was too small for my size.

PM if you have any further enquiries. Let us know which bike you decided to buy. Good luck!
