Ok thanks for the info.
I think i'll go visit these shops and look at the specs to decide.
Is Specialized a good brand that I should consider too? Or just Merida, Scott, and Giant???


Added on August 24, 2011, 10:23 amI also checked that one http://www.ghspeedbikes.com/store/product.php?id_product=51 which is at 2700RM (a bit more expensive). Is it really better than the Merida listed above??? Pls help!! smile.gifsmile.gif

Before deciding on the brand I think you should answer some of these questions first to ensure you made the right choice:

1. Where do you plan to ride? XC?Trail riding? DH? etc..
2. Check out the components of the bikes, at entry level I believe theses 3 parts are most important: Frame, Fork and Crank
3. Baru look at the brand...

If not google for reviews...I pakai Specialized of course I would say its better but then again ...lain orang lain citarasa ...lain orang lain style

1. It'll be more for XC...Cross country and a bit of road at times too.
2. Regarding the frame, fork and crank, as I have almost 0 knowledge about the equipment, it is hard for me to see which one from Merida or Specialized is more suitable for my use (considering the difference of almost Rm500)
3. ??? No idea which one is best or more renowned.

Timothyy, as I said it is a bit difficult for me to make a choice although I read the first page. That's why I appreciate your help on the forum to advise me wink.gif

Thanks Nina, at this price it sounds a good buy. However, this one is more for racing right?
Is it really what I need I do not know.
I ll use the bike to go off road as well as on road. Should I really pay 2600?? Is it really much better than the Merida for the way I plan to use it???

in my opinion under 3k just buy what frame looks nice, since 80% of the parts will be upgraded, including the fork and wheelset.


the scale is good value at 2600 i guess. specialized got life time warranty on the frame. merida generally decent overall value compared to american brands. giant if u source from the right people/shops u can get good value. not sure bout giant, but merida has 5 years warranty on the frame, which is enough for me. most riders here change frames/bikes after 2-3 years anyways.

Aiseeyyy...dont la show my bike here ...ekekek ... blush.gif

Also agree with Radsmazel...get one nice frame within your budget...see if you like MTB...
If you commit to it and give it the respect it deserves ...baru start upgrading ...
Part of the fun is upgrading your bike heheh

Full Serbis

Do you guys know how much it cost to do a full service on a bike? Full service whereby they dismantle the entire bike and put it back together...I think at Specialized its about 100+, cant remember the exactly how much.

Its actually depending on your repo with the shop if you want to get a good price. Usually it'll cost around RM80 at normal bike shops. But see la if yours got a lot of grime and all, price will increase.

If you're a monkey wrench, buy the tools and d-i-y. Lagi fun like that. brows.gif
