Does anyone know the shop where I can buy a Cannondel frame in Thailand? I know Cannondale's shop at soi 26 but it too expensive for me to buy it there. We have many small factory to fix or remove dents out of frame in Japan. In Thailand are there any small factory which can fix or remove dents out of frame? http://www.silkcycle...01/post_25.html

zuzu0518, Cannondale frames in Thailand are scarce. It sounds as if you've had a bad experience with denting on your current frame and are looking to replace it without having to buy a whole new bike. As you already know the Cannondale center at soi 26 is the Thailand Distributor for the brand and can handle warranty issues with your frame. If your frame denting is not a warranty issue we advise you to call around to the other shops in Thailand to see whether your frame/size are available in their inventory. To our best knowledge there currently 3 shops in Thailand which officially carry the Cannondale brand.

How severe the dent is and where it is located on the frame should have bearing on your decision to have your frame repaired or replaced.

The problem with Cannondales in Thailand s the local distributor is really a nasty and dishonest sort and after a meeting or two you'll want stay far away. I know and learned the hard way.

Hey Pinky - There is an ALL NEW Thailand distributor for the Cannondale brand, as of December 2015.

 

The old distributor was the Cannondale Shop Bangkok located on Soi 26. The new distributor is Worldwide Connection - and because of this consumers should expect to start seeing Cannondale bikes popping up in shops across the country. I know for a fact that SeaLee Urban is a great location to pick up Cannondale in Bangkok.

 

Anyways, read all about Worldwide Connection's acquisition of the Cannondale brand here - http://bicyclethaila...es-in-thailand/
