Having come from the brick and mortar bike retail, last thing initially I wanted to visit were bike shops. But I found out there are a LOT of cool things in foreign locales not available at home, so I always advise when touring not to overly pack as you can easily purchase stuff that could be unique, useful and be a cool souvenir from your tours.

After watching this video yesterday morning I visited Lek Bike. I'd never known about it before. There's just 1 parking spot in front and it's only legal to park there on odd days, fortunately it was Dec 29th. In front of the shop the owner's elderly mom sells beer, whiskey and ice. All the back space was crammed with all kinds of quality gear and accessories just like in the video. There didn't appear to be a workshop area, but I forgot to ask the owner about that so not certain. It's nice to know it's there and I bought 1 item I hadn't been able to find anywhere else.

A fully stocked bike shop close to home is huge, the shop is impressive indeed with high end components, regarding brooks the saddle, I purchased the B17 saddle a few years ago and I must admit it’s the best decision I made, put the rest of my saddles, a few of them to rest for good, I was so impressed that I purchased a second B17, now having said this, they’re a tad hard at first, you have to break them in for a few weeks but once broken in, ohh my, you’re gonna love it, plus they look phenomenal on the bike, I’ve ridden on these all day and no issues, no bottoms soreness.

I have a set on my folder and tandem bikes. The company Anatomica is or was mostly a Brooks saddle with a big hole cut in the pernium area. Once a Brooks is broken in, never need to change it. Even Sheldon Brown until he started using recumbent trikes had Brooks on all his bikes.

For frame pumps I prefer the Topeak Turbo Morph. It's a miniaturized version of a normal size floor pump. Has a hose to prevent valve damage... you can push into the ground to make pumping easier. It pumps to about 120psi. I do also carry a battery operated air inflator. The Audter tube shaped one. It gets to 150psi.

My word, for a small family business , what a terrific selection that shop offers! You were like two kids in a sweet shop! Now, about that so- called big bum saddle, I definitely do not agree with you about their becoming uncomfortable in a longer ride, as a matter of fact ,the over narrow saddles become downright painful for the female anatomy sooner than you think. I ride along bumpy hilly country roads for 40 to 50 km almost days, and I am very grateful for my saddle which is identical to the one in the shop. Surely your lovely wife deserves a chance to at least try one , they are not expensive and they could improve her riding experience.

Im also using Brooks C17 Carved Cambium on both my Brompton & Salsa Marrakesh (both touring setups). On my Italian Masi classic roadbike, C15 Carved Cambium. (Carved - has a hole in the middle of the saddle, more flex & comfy while riding) - i was a B17 Lace Aged user for about 9 mths & rode over 2500km+ and the leather has yet "break-in" (maybe because i took good care with profide & adjustment - i dont know) but once i tried cambium, i knew its comfy on my ass without the need for leather "break-ins" - i had also tried the normal C17 Cambium (without Carved) for a 100km ride. Immediately sold both B17 Laced Aged & C17 Cambium for the "carved" lol Cheers from Malaysia

I have connected with all shops so when we both get to go to Vietnam, I'll share the details. The big shops that we can google usually have boring stock compared to small shops. But again the bikes they sell in the small shops could be stolen from abroad and sold here :) Also, do make a note that HCMC and Hai Phong are good for MTB rides but can't say the same about Da Nang.

It’s like a candy store for cyclists!

How I would love a bike shop like this in the UK. The selection here is beyond pathetic it doesn't seem the sort of shop to move a lot of gear but this selection is second to none if I could find a shop here in the UK that sold half as much I would be more than happy dream on 🤣

Agreed…I’ve never seen that level of stock in a UK bike shop. I guess they are advised by smart-ass consultants like me who tell them to get their DIO metrics down! I’ve given up on brick and mortar shops for most things and get everything sent next day from Sigma Sports.

Looks much more ghetto compared to Japan bike shops

There are plenty of ghetto oldschool bike shops in Japan that don't have 1% of this stock 😅
