Obtaining western size riding gear in Hanoi.
I'm starting a 3 month trip around S.E. Asia shortly. I'm mostly backpacking with just hand luggage so not carting around riding gear.
I'm thinking of buying a bike in Vietnam. Something cheap. Maybe ride it back to Thailand and sell it in Bangkok.
Problem is, everyone tells me that you can only buy child size helmets and just forget riding boots.
I want to go into the mountains and off-road trails and don't fancy doing that wearing flip flops with a saucepan on my head.
Any advice ??
Cheers in advance, Ted
