Me too, rode Solo the Sikkim loop a few years back now - Teesta bridge to Darjeeling is one tough ascent but highly recommended, and you need some miles in the legs in order to not dismount on the climb....

May sound like a silly question, but do you have to carry your own bike on such trips or good mountain bikes are available for hire?
