oh yeah... heard he can ride one le.... i thinks Letua he got join right...

he can ride or not i dunno la... never really tried to provoke him cause every time see him also with a big group...

we used to go ulu yam waterfalls weekly last time... and he is always there with his big group doing ulu yam - rawang loop and sometime we run into them on the 1st climb up the dam... can tag la along la is all i can say...

those were still the days of aluminum frames and radial laced 32-spoke wheels... maybe a few mavic cosmics around... unker can play one.. depends if he wants to show power...

now every time see him at kiara... dun try to sprint past him... he will then say something like "why ride so fast, not competing wat"... haha... signs of old age, maybe?

no matter what and how, still a lot of people buying from him.

since the volume bikes out are quite a lot compared to other shops, the knowledge on fixing problems and level servicing are there.

you wont want let ur "thousand" ringgitS bike handle by some1 who is in-experience right...

1 thing i have to admit unker has that some other shops might not is the passion... unker is in the biz so long not because he has a complete range of bikes, fancy assos apparels or fancy shop... but his passion for cycling... ask him about the sport and i believe he can talk about anything from how the riders ride up a col down to post ride ball scrubs and massages... that is why he has a big gang of kaki on and off-road...

of course... his workmanship also not bad la... also use full set of tools to do every minute thing... but you have to be patient waiting for them to do it la... attention to detail takes time... else, they will be banging away at your BB30 bottom bracket like nobodies biz...

and if you notice... his gang is usually those old farts (i mean old in experience) and not the newbies in cycling... newbies might not find him that friendly.. he might be your typical salesman.. but you might not find him to be your best friend immediately...

fak... i've been a newbie for 10 years... still getting the stare of bohchap from him....

that or...

dude don worry lar. I am much slower at you. My avg speed is around 20km/h ish. Reading sucks cos the loop i doing usually have hills here and there.

Yup that the guy, he shocking.gif when i walk in to his shop and just straight away walk to sidi ergo 2 carbon shoe without looking at other thing. He joked to me "u know this shoe is very expensive one you know". laugh.gif The price of the shoes in his shop are much more cheaper than the "sales price" in aussie. I cant wait to wear it once i clocked 1000km thumbup.gif

wtf he did say that?!?! look down on customers think 'this shoe very expensive you can afford or not'.....

so how much is the shoe here compare to in aussie? no need think more just use the clipless now, doesnt matter 100 or 1000km, me after 3000km only go clipless also have a near fall situation after using for few rides.... totally forgot was wearing a clipless, fortunately was going slow and managed to unclip by force just in time...
