Hey Larry,
I'm in Medellin now and have been for 4 days. What a great place! I only spent one night in Bogota so I can't really comment on a comparison between the two. I bought a rear tire at Ruta 40 on Saturday. There's a bunch of good guys working there. Almost no english spoken but I showed up, told them what I needed, they rolled my bike right in and in less than an hour I was on my way. Price-wise there could be a cheaper place but I didn't check into it as I wanted to stop in to say I was at Ruta 40 anyway. There's tons of other bike shops in Medellin to choose from. I'm here til after the new year so if you make it up here let me know!
Kevin
