Sorry. My error. I ter-ate the "wake up" at 5:45am to attend 7:00am TRX session.

Since yesterday, auditor showing her un-friendly garang face and attitude while requesting / chasing me for documents. now u know why i stressed up!  mad.gif
your condo 3rd bedroom must be huge man! you staying 1,700++ sq ft condo?

i'm now desperately looking for new place! I been looking for 1 since long time ago... yet nothing that suite me or makes me straight away want to book pay deposit !

Any ideal condo for Cyclist with budget around RM400k? off course the square feet need to be at least 931sq ft, my old place.

i thinks my new place is much smaller with 800sq ft i guess...

Mine Cheras, 426k - 1472sq ft + corner unit, now new block is selling 500k brows.gif

Offcourse the story of 9 / 10 speed is ultimately bound by your financial capability..

Don't go overburden yourself tho, getting a bike and start it without owning debts to ahlong is much more important..

but wanna upgrade later by owning to ah long is same.

butthead, well, for the long run, I dont see myself going offroad anytime soon as I preety much enjoy biking on the roads, hence the suspension & frame portion can be left as it is for now.

Reason for the upgrade need is that during long straights/cruising, I have to pedal twice as much just to keep up with the rest and will burnout before any upcoming ascending climbs.

Since I'm looking into a groupset, which would be reccomended by seasoned bikers like urself? Shimanos or SRAM? Been trying to readup on both brands and it is really confusing between the 2.
*
Any MTB can do on road, off-road even the the frim u need a decent suspension fork.
SR Suntour XCT/XCM/XCR better get epicon or Rockshox TK / Recon / Reba

my fren fuji nevada 2.0 XCM with deore mix with Alivio is 1.8K
mine - full deore with Rockshox is recon is ard 4k

since you enjoy road much,why MTB?

joonming,

MTB bcus I'm not really confident with a road bike due to my weight @ 100+KGs, sked d rims/tyres cant handle me weight and brake into a million bits. MTB frame can take the brute forces being applied to it instead of a roadie.
*
i Think Sky-live ard 96kg w road bike, slick road Tyre 100% help, groupsets shakehead.gif maybe.

haha.. RM340... the time when chicken rice was still under RM2.50 per plate la... now RM340, carrefour also don't have bicycle to buy... maybe the kiddie ones...

i used to frequent edwin's shop to get the fake GT triple triangle MTB frames too.. haha... no money buy GT or Gary Fisher back then la....

the allez 105 is kinda pricy... but heard it's not a badly made frame especially if you get the E5 ones over the standard A1...

my favvy aluminum bike will always be the canyon AL9.0 ultimate...

I'm very sure Cheras selling Big/small bowl Pork-noodle(sorry for Muslim) is RM1.8/1.5 , Chinese tea ice is 20sen

Always no home made lunch vmad.gif ,have to eat myself

Well, that 62 yr old oldman probably riding a MTB wth 30 gears or a hybrid bike wth atleast 27-30 gears compare to normal RB having 18-20 gears...

On the same hilly slope, my 27gears MTB can easily climb wth the smallest Front crank + largest rear gears.. but on max 10th gears.. I failed to climb the same hill I used to climb using my 27speeds MTB  cry.gif

cannot climb just push loh , is part of cycling
