Or how about collector's item?

Dun forget need to leave aside some cash for good helmet and gloves too

Added on January 13, 2012, 10:33 pmI know of this guy who bought a Raleigh Oakland at about the same time as I got my Diablo.

3 weeks later, he got a Trek 3500 for his wife (yeah right)

And now (3 months since the Trek 3500) he's custom building around a Trek 8500 frame.

nuts!

if he has 4.5k for hobby only, means he has more than that if he loves this hobby. true story.

im back!! with more question tho...
wat do i need for long distance ride in my bckpack?? but no off road long distance..road 1

Else buy a rm1.5k merida n follow our national sylybus on biking n bike upgrade...

water!

and please dont wear clothes that poke the eyes, brought to you by the guys who drop bombs for a living.

4.5K can get you a good HT but not a full sus. 4.5K with a stretched budget i think can get you a 29er scott elite. good bike to get you started and 29er's in kiara is just superb. am assuming that you want to ride more of XC and probably aggresive XC.

Rm4.5 nub cannot say go for kolor anymore...

who on earth on a budget would still wanna choose the bike based on kaler?

What a!!~~ Joke of the day!

I'd definitely still choose the bike based on color!

First criteria
-Color

2nd criteria
-Look

3rd Criteria
-Tak ada orang ada one...

4th criteria
-Color

Hahahahaha!! Gaya come first!!

WAT!!!

oh.. i read that he lived nearby treknology and i thought money wasn't a problem to him...

yes.. the 3Rs of bike buying, research, re-search your research and research your re-search with other people's research....makes no sense

remember, at first bug the people who you have ruled out and will never buy the bike from.. dun piss the fella off that you will eventually buy the bike from...

you tell me if i'm sucker... jus my bike computer alone...

1) cateye velo 8 , wired
2) sigma BC1009 cause the velo8 flown out of the mounting bracket and got ran over by a car
3) some merida wireless meter cause i wanted altimeter function
4) sigma bc2209 STS, cause i thought the merida display characters too small, turn out the sigma lost some altimeter functions i like but gained heart rate
5) sigma rox 8.0, has all the altimeter function, big enough characters and has multi-lines and on top of that data recording which i have no docking station for.
6) possibly a garmin edge 500??? resisting...

danger level has been upped from poison to blackhole warning...

blackhole warning.. too late

well... it is more addictive than sex... or cocaine.. whichever is more addictive...

you need to bring

1) money (not too much or you get mugged), in case shit happens, if not use to buy water, food or whatever junk you can use to feed your buddies or road side monkeys... your decision
2) some basic tools, just a foldable tool set if you dun have a chainbreaker
3) spare tube, pump and tyre lever if you are using some funny shaped QR
4) and most important... fully charged phone in case real shit happens.

best to put tools, or any hard stuff in saddle bag... not wise to put in jersey pockets... reason? if you crash, flip over and land on your back... you would not want your tools to punch a hole in your spine... no fun.

Added on January 13, 2012, 11:37 pmmen are very visual animals... there is really love at first sight...REALLY!...right up until the moment someone shows up with another bike that you want so much you can give away your left nut to get 1...

Ok now that's extreme

yah man.. medical bills takes away the money you can otherwise spend on your bike.

yup... i am a data junkie... the incessant thirst for unnecessary data...

don't know why... no cure ever found...

i doubt it can poke a hole.. but it will do some hurting if you have a big tool...

hmmm...sounds wrongs, this

that is why you buy health insurance! hello noobie, go buy what MTB mags especially the 1000quid hardtail shootouts and get an idea from there. if not just get an Giant Anthem X... and never upgrade it except the tires, wheels, saddle, brakes, stem (depending on your reach). DO buy full finger gloves and a helmet in the rm300 range coz your life is worth than that and a pair of clear riding glasses to stop trail shrapnel. oh, trek i dunnno, but i like Giant, Specialized and Jamis so you MUST do OWN research to find out what you really like. Do the research and you will enjoy your new ride, if not just dont bother.

Ok ...before I tito....sweet dreams



Those who are riding tomorrow...pergi tito...nanti lambat bangun....
