Saigon Cycles was born through an idea of two people back in 2005 when we decided to bring the cycling lifestyle, and top quality bicycles to Vietnam. We were informed it “couldn’t be done” at the time. We opened our store on September 22nd 2007 ( 5th birthday coming up soon) and our early years were tough whilst we worked hard to bring bikes here sourcing them through our contacts offshore. In June 2010 we met the representative of TREK bicycles and our current partnership with the worlds best bicycle manufacturer began. In the past two years we have attempted to bring in a core of models which we believe are applicable to use under Vietnam conditions.
Early in 2012 we commenced a partnership with The Hanoi Bicycle Collective whom are now the Authorized dealer of TREK in Hanoi. This was a major move for us and is a natural progression as we intend to expand our dealer network across the length of Vietnam with a goal of having a partner/ dealer in every major population center.
It is worth noting here, there are many UNAUTHORISED dealers in Vietnam (particularly in Hanoi) whom are trading in TREK branded product however they are not selling original, genuine product from TREK USA. Saigon Cycles is the ONLY TREK authorized Importer and Distributor of TREK, Bontrager and Mirraco Product in Vietnam. If you purchase product from these unauthorized dealers you are not getting genuine TREK, Bontrager or Mirraco product, it is not covered by any warranty and it shall not be serviced by our Authorised dealers.
Saigon Cycles is the Authorised Importer of SURLY steel framed bicycles to Vietnam also and once again we are the ONLY Authorised importer in Vietnam.
BEWARE OF IMMITATIONS.
Plans for the Future?
It is our longer term goal to partner with a solid, honest and reliable dealer, who values quality product and shares our values of honesty and integrity, in each of the major population centers of Vietnam. If you feel you have the correct ingredients to become a TREK and SURLY partner then please contact us and we will be happy to discuss possibilities.
