I think... M575 is better and it is not expensive, around RM200.
Link>>> M575 White/Gold

Airline (not budget ariline) allow 1 bike per passenger. you need to remove the handle bar n lower the seat post. also release teh tire air. if have box, it will be better for ur own bike sake.

anyone here from Penang? i think this morning i meet u in frim trip this morning in Puchong Bike Hash ride..

I know Kona n Marin use Tange extensively in their line up due to the weight profile.

no idea. been googling around, havent found any links yet. the link i posted was from pipedream, and they make custom frames, so i guess the ones on the list were the choices of tubing materials they offered.

http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/index.php/t-185593.html

http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/index.php/t-203271.html

according to this link, most of the forum posts say that tange prestige 4130 is comparable to reynolds either 631 or 725. not entirely sure though.

Ya.. that's why curious. See that some of those OEM frames on auction primarily using Tange also... wonder what's the strength/weight compare with the popular reynolds like the 853
