I stay Subang, any pro bike shop nearby that i can check with them for new bike. Giant or Merida or Specialized.....haha my RM2000 too small budget for those big brand de....

Marin @RM2000, ( but why this brand not so popular in Malaysia ? hmm.gif  ) the owner keep asking me to get the bike by today.
I still need feww hundred to buy some necessary protection accessories as strongly recommended by Chyu89.

xandman sound like he got better recommendation for me. pls.....share your idea and i will join you for ride....you be my sifu....I buy you nasi lemak + Tea Tarik thumbup.gif 

I also received a proposal yesterday for used Merida TFS -800D, standard spec offer for RM3,300. like this design....beautiful bike but 50% over budget...Sian !  2500 still can make it.....wtd....no cash ! cry.gif

seriously dude, read first page... i find the info there is very sufficient for one to make a decision. i made mine reading first page!! rclxms.gif

all of us here are riders, not bike shop owner... we wont know price of every single bike... very hard to spoonfeed you bike price... good that u list the 3 different bike u shortlisted. check out the bike shop listed on first page... man that's the point having a list !!

the reason any of us say go for marin is simple... new bike last longer. used bike got wear and tear to concern about.
RM2k is a bare basic for any serious mountain biking activities, get any branded bike will do.. they more or less work the same.
like wat other say, check out giant, merida, kona brand range.

You don't have tools and friends bike to swap.the only way is visit other bike shop to help you. Nothing much we can help if you have no tools and know how in bike mechanics

There is so many reputable shop in Penang.
- a few in carnavan street like cci,chin aik
- Lim cycle opposite sunshine square
- dreamwerks at Jalan perak
- ksh Penang

I guess prime reason of me favouring trek is because trekanology is the 1st bike shop visit. And after some online research it is quite a respectable brand as well. Giant apparently is one class higher than Trek and their bikes are generally more expensive than Trek. But for RM 4500 i tot Trek X-Caliber is a pretty good deal (doubt if any Giant model can rival it at the same price). And also dont know which shop offer real Giant 29er for viewing.
Put it this way, since i live pretty nearby to trekanology, buying a bike from them would make pretty good sense. As i can go there for maintenance and component upgrades in case i need them. PROVIDED rm4500 cannot get me anything better than Trek X-Caliber (regardless of brand of course), since i m pretty tight on budget.

Thanks all the sifus here. U all are quite friendly and really helpful. browsing through the web 10 hours cannot beat surfing through lowyat forums. CHEERS.

thumbup.gif I like ur answer...giant best.
Anyway, be it trek or what other brand... The way u considering the shop location and etc make good sense.

The spec you listed look decent for a first bike... If you like it...then think it is a good first bike. Else u can compare compare a few others and quickly join us riding.
No worries,no matter how u decide, your first bike don't last long if you serious in this activities...you develop ur ideal bike soon
