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.

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

What do you call the soft cover that protect bike frame from chain?

yes, the google now show correct finding, cause earlier i google with all the terms i can think of but all come out funny thing...

thanks

will too smooth cause the chain drop?

mrs sound serious now... she just ask me to go buy bike's car mount and accessories for her bike.. miracle

i conclude she need anthem's susser as the merida 20 is too "stiff".. hehe

btw snip, do u felt giant's seat too hardcore? my bum pain. they need to improve that...

i never have this pain on merida's.

wonder if fizik gobi xm is hard or soft...

i am using this. Merida having promo on this with free helmet. if can, get ibert, cost about s$180 everywhere in spore. ibert have better clearance, and one of the best front seat available. dont get rear seat as it's dangerous to both rider and child.

good luck getting jr wearing helmet..

front have lower gravity center thus easier to balance for rider.
Most important u see what jr doing. also reported case where helmet's strap sangkut and choking the jr without notice by adult.

my boy will restless every times i pass by parked bus. he like to look at the wheel for few mins before allow me to move on...even will the belt, it can be "challenging" to kept the balance. Since he is sitting at front, i am more prepare when he try to do indiana jones and calm him down.
