Where To Buy A Good Second Hand Mountain Bike In Dumaguete/negros (Or The Philippines)?

[Matteo Cappelletti]

Hi everyone! I'll be moving to Dumaguete around the end of September. 
I'm looking for a good quality second-hand mountain bike (M or S size) in the 30.000 pesos price range; is anyone in the forum selling one?

Anybody knows a shop where I can find one in town?

Or a good website where I can find it (in general in the Philippines)?

 

Thanks!

I do not know anyone with such a bike for sale but I would look first at this web site

and then start networking when you get here.  Anything good and well priced will sell fast so better have boots on the ground an cash in the pocket before you start seriously looking.

Rust is such a serious problem that I would get a new one. I am very interested in the bamboo bicycles.

OLX / Sulit is good for ads too:

Watch out for fakes.  I was interested in a 29er at a local shop and contacted the manufacturer about it, because the manufacturer's website did not have the model as a 29er.  Sure enough, it was a fake.

 

If you are tall, that will limit choices too.  A good shop can order larger sizes.

 

You can consider getting a frame and having one built to order too, as labor is cheap here.
