rad: a ride is aride is a ride! enjoy it while you can!

just got back from ride. was drizzling, but was already out, so might as well ride on since i already needed a shower.

damn the frame is stiff. i thought that a rider of my weight wouldnt cause much noticeable flex, thus didnt matter whether i used an ultra stiff frame or a cheap one. but yeah, compared to the lerun and tbolt, this frame has freakish stiffness. was climbing at much higher speeds and bigger gears than i used to. and the bike surged forward under my butt with each pedal stroke, not twisting my handlebars side to side. guess thats y the head tube has to be stiff still not used to riding position though, 1st time using a frame that is actually my size

rad: dude that sounds sweet!

yeah. now i actually think i can climb steroid. hahaha. how bout it? sunday, FRIM?

Hey... perhaps u can consider chopping down your steerer further. Save 30grams..kakakkaak

rad: chop abit off the steerer tube save a few more 10s of grams.

yeah. considering that too. less spacers too, save rm8 if reduce 2 10mm spacers. lol.

The frame looks too tough for the fork... ehem... you know what i mean

ok where u guy wanna benchmark this weekend?

ray: 1 step at a time, there is only so much cash he can earn part time to feed his mtb habit before his studies suffer.

Oops sorwee... me too EXITED to see this bike becomes XC Racer...for next year's Prez ride.

already bleeding money. haha. maybe change fork/wheelset/crank next. still undecided, got money only start doing feasibility study and WW vs price calculations

Already listed the items in the 2010 pipeline?... That will make you more hardworking for part-time jobs.
