Hi everybody,

Recently I set my mind on purchasing a mountain bike. My problem is that I hear from different sources that good quality mountain bikes are sold in Kunming, but for astronomically high prices. I'm more looking for reasonable quality, not top-end, and price around 2000/3000 kuai...

Is there anybody who can recommend a certain shop or bike brand?

Thanks!

You have to shop around. Check out the shop (forgot it's name) right off Beijing Lu, TangShuang Lu. They have all the right tools, did a great job on my road bike. maps.google.com/[...]
I would personally go for a Hybrid, a road frame with straight bars.
I saw some used bikes in their storage area, maybe you can get a deal on one of them ~~..

Thanks! I checked out the shop yesterday. They are able to fix me decent bike (well, consisting of all the cheapest parts but new and my size and upgradeable) for 3500 kuai. I'm gonna keep shopping around a bit, though. Proper second hand parts are supposedly hard to come by here in Kunming for a tall guy like me (1m93)...
