Re: road frame sets on line?
Quote:
I have not heard of places where they rent bicycles or at least decent road bikes. I've seen some touristic places where they rent bikes specially near the beach but they are far from decent. What is your plan in Costa Rica? How long will you be staying in San José? Will you be going to the beach or mountains? Business, vacation, family? |

I don't think you want even a $200 frame (typical retail $500-$600) to arrive anywhere in Costa Rica. The last time we visited Costa Rica, US$500 was on the order of half the average household annual income. Someone else on our tour had a Nikon N-80 camera stolen from his room on the first morning in Costa Rica - that WAS worth the average annual income. He decided to buy a replacement camera on the way to Corcovado National Park, in a large town (but not San Jose). The most expensive camera in the entire town of about 10,000 people, was US$50. People looked at us funny because of our shoes. I would use a beater if you're touring or living in Costa Rica, and realize that happiness is not worrying about having your bicycle stolen ...  |
