Anthem X3 demo was perfect. After long chat and thinking, i opt for XTC SE2.

Anthem X3 is rm5500 which i think is a bargain FS frame. Do wait for 2010 since minor upgrade on some parts and better color but at higher price (confirmed from close friend link with Giant and Giant Msia).

Also the 2010 batch is arriving Jan 2010.

Curious... what swayed you towards the XTC?

Dah beli? Pic spam ler.

QUOTE(RayKazansky @ Oct 22 2009, 12:00 AM)

Here's the line up for 2010 Anthem Aluxx based frames...taken from Giant's 2010 Catalogue. Is Anthem X4 gonna be available in Msia?[attachmentid=1263584]

Thats UK spec... Taiwan spec dun have X4 and didn't spec Musang all round...sure mahal giler. It makes sense for the UK though since they have the Yukon FX as entry level.

I need the touring and joyride around my taman. XTC will provide better role in these.

also due to work and family commitment, probably only maximum 1 off road trip per week.

Mrs using merida now, if she is into cycling, i may change the merida to felt or giant women bike, so budget wise i opt for 2 bike using ~rm5k.

But Anthem X3 at listed at rm5500 is a bargain for a XC full susser.

btw whom had seeen this type of stand in kl? should have bought it last time when i saw it in spore

Giant have exactly the same one (but with Giant logo of course). Not sure if KL got though.

It looks nice but not as practical as triangle stand lor.

Don't say like that.
Did you know that NS1993 is also an avid photographer.
He's got a Panny LX3. But yea, I know it's not him taking the pictures.

Probably you'll have to get one of these too for the Crysis Nanosuit look.

Now you've got everything you need to get started.
Don't use full-face cause you're riding XC and you're gonna look like a fool.

No no no.. for the absolute overkill look. A full susser (black naturally) must be accompanied with body armor and a full face helmet for road riding

If its too panas, can always use a MET parachute with removable chin guard. With an Oakley goggle <-- Note: Goggle... not those Livestrong wimpy ones.... face will be fully covered so no one can recognize.

I've heard from somewhere that chicks dig this look..akakkakakka.
