hoorey! Merdeka!

give myself a merdeka day from doing any running or cycling....

btw, is mrjx dah loop broga ???

Merdeka Day from cycling is carb loading day!!!!!!!! ice cream....pan cakes.....


Went to Yong's to physically look see what is available, largest road frame he has is S size as in Small and not Supersize.

I am kinda sceptical, if I can find something that would fit me, dont want to get screwed by Datuk bicycle shop like the last time.

lazy... lazy la... wat off day... dun give urself excuses...

you FFK people still dare to ask..

wat size you lookin for? seldom people bring in 54cm and above la..not a lot of people will need those frame sizes...

who is datuk bicycle shop? new one ar...

who is Yong?

aiduh bro... i never promise want do broga loop ma.

i gotta save my legs for tomorrow HOA - Berjaya Bukit Tinggi Resort ma... this morning i suddenly thought, im not ready for PJ - Genting Sempah - Bukit Tinggi resort yet, thus better cut the PJ, start at HOA.... hehe....

more excuses

stress la!

im working now u know.

office moving.. plus lot of work throwing at me in month end closing...

anyway, btw, i'm not aiming for whatever top 10 nor top 100... important is enjoy the ride and experience the mother nature hills climb... where u will be cursing non-stop y u doing the climb....

it's priceless when reach at top! haha...

dont know how you guys do it at current temperature. Any possibility of physical profile,fluid intake and caloric intake from the two of you ? I dont want to puk kai (system crash) out in no where land or carry too much food/water.

Yeah, I am 6'2" ..... pretty screwed since i picked up a CAAD 10 (105) and asked if they had 56cm....shop owner gave me a look and said 'Difflicult to order normal sizes and you asking me about 56cm ah ?'.

Everybody wants to stuff me in a 56cm frame size, but I feel more comfortable in a 55cm frame even with front wheel pedal overlap. Which means I cant power out of corners which I love to do.

Yong is um across Ampang Point in Korea town. Bicycle stock is low to mid end. I was shopping in a Korean supermarket nearby so I popped in to Yong's to have a look. The owner is very nice/friendly, which is shocking.

haiya... go short ride ma can lo.. not every ride has to be epic... overcome that mentality and riding can be done anytime... jus dun let people f@ck with ur timing...

some visa card moment there eh... not so enjoyable when you suddenly hear your tire deflate while in the midst of basking in your glorious moment at the top of the climb...

happened to me once.. the swearing just continued all the way from completing the climb to changing the tube and on the way home...all the way...

ehh.. different person different intake i guess... if u feel something wrong... it's time to stop take a rest or watever helps...

look at the Effective Top Tube and Head Tube length of the 55cm and 56cm... sometimes, the changes are very marginal... if the effective top tube does not alter much (less than 10mm).. i guess the more common one you can get your hand on is easier... top overlap on a big sized frame should not happen often as it should have a very huge wheelbase... unless you run odd sized 185mm crankarms..

they are all salesman.. they are supposed to be friendly..

hehehehhehhehe -butthead.....my time ambient max ambient temp was 32 today is gulp 42. heat stroke country.

nah, some shops are better then others

went to Melawati bike shop (canondale, McMahone etc etc) caad-10 ultegra cannot remember the price.....outta reach

Fuji Team carbon Tiagra RM4,850/=

Fuji SL (dunno what) Ultegra with FSA crank RM5,XXX/=

Then some MTB, McMahone epicon fork alreay 5K plus, with better fork RS SID is 9k ++ WTH!!!!

all this sticker price.

Vinn_Ann what was your bike again ?

not yet..no kaki to broga loop with me. not to mention I was food poisoned on Fri..bed ridden until today mah..but tomorrow I definitely gonna ride.. perhaps HOA-G.sempah.


hey I might be there as well..look out for merida guy. hehe. btw how's the route to Berjaya bukit tinggi from genting sempah? prolly I'll start rolling around 730am like that..

bicycle world in melawati... nathan's shop... CAAD-10 is a bit pricey... but it is one of the top grade aluminum bikes around..

vin_ann's one is a more economic competitor to CAAD-10.. maybe not performance...but in terms of value for it's specs...

i think his was a TCR SL... this year's model not sure if it still weighs the same as Giant started making a lot of their in house components like wheels and cockpit...

http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-in/bikes/...sl/10736/52970/

5k gets you nothing nowadays... my only advice is not to expect too much.. stay with you budget or wait a while more and save up to buy the better one.. you don't want to blow your budget getting over your head...

food poisoned... means a lot came out of you? DAMN!!!.. you'll climb faster tomorrow

ATTACK!!!

wow EMC r2.4 at RM2.5k that its good deal based on the groupset offered but without sealed wheel hubs and carbon seatpost as in offered in r2.2.

I still do not clock enough km's to see the performance of my R2.2 but the creator said it is stiffer than some carbon fibre frame. I have not try to test his claim yet.

Not in Malaysia price right ?

Added on September 2, 2012, 10:54 pmGiant TCR SL2 is about 4k ++ in Subang right ?

The Caad 10 is about 7K ++ with complete 105 groupset.

Vinn_Ann how do you manage the ride ? Heard or more like read that it was harsh. I did pick up the SL2, compared to the Caad the SL2 is lighter same spec same size different shop.

There's a 2nd hand Litespeed Liege frame for sale, am tempted its in my size. but pricey and its Ti. Then again I have group and wheelset begging to be built.

yay! i rode up Berjaya Hills Resort guardhouse....

you guys should try my old training ground. UK heights comes packaged with attack dogs to improve your sprint skills. its a short climb =P its Jalan pimping up all the way to the end of Jalan Teberau. access is from MRR2 melawati to ampang. fair warning its a dead stop into the climb. forgot the gradient.



Ok found the 4.8k pricing for the SL2 posted in Feb this year.
