not pressured to sell the sworks just yet. a couple of friends already asked about it, but too bad not their size

let mull it over first. last time i tried to sell my stuff, brand new, still full warranty, 10% off the price i paid, still ppl not interested. ppl only wanna buy everything cheap cheap regardless the condition or the value of the stuff.

had a lousy time dealing with ppl asking stupid questions or haggling like i was selling used newspaper


Added on December 27, 2012, 10:26 am

have deflated the tyres and it's on surface cuts not too deep, so I guess should be ok to continue using it.

Did my first group ride today and had an awesome time though I wasn't confident enough to follow too close to suck other people's wheel  cry.gif Certain stretch of the road we had to go single file and the cross winds was crazy so being in a group didn't make much difference at all. Also did my furthest ride so far, 42km. Only difference I personally felt during group ride is I didn't really feel the distance and was good to talk with someone along the way. Definitely going to do a lot more rides next year and slowly but surely increase the distance and eventually speed. Also hope to get some cycling shoes next month and get used to having cleats, hopefully won't have any embarrassing moments stopping at the traffic lights  blush.gif



oh btw Merry belated xmas and advance happy new year everyone  biggrin.gif

you're riding roadbike? good that you can follow them...

btw, can help look up for Specialized Armadillo tyre at ur LBS... see whether they have it or not...

Happy New Year !

wahlau... u got some undying spirit man... source all the way to aussie...

dude, kangaroo skin or not... no diff la... many other things are made from something that was once living... yet, you use them anyways... it's just wat you don't know doesn't hurt you...

you think your leather wallet didn't come from some living breathing animal??? kasi buang la...

best if you think is animal cruelty is not to buy the damn thing or even better convince people not to...

aussie sells dried and treated kangaroo skin as keychain and wallets... i got 1 or 2 from friends as presents from travelling trips...

Thanks to you ! being poisons by u ma... Specialized Armadillo is something that not available in Malaysia yet its something that need in cycling...

just like i brought my headlamp for my ultra trail running... Petzl... not available in Msia n SG... and some Clif bar nutrition too...

so far, i never owns any living animal leather thingy... poorfag satu...

btw, when im 1st start riding, i always have upper back muscles tiny pains... sort of soreness... complains to friend, he said you're still new, it's normal...

even after 3 months, still have tiny pains... asked my bike shop, and he said might be handle bar problem... my current bar is 42mm wide, and he measure my shoulder... he said i need 44mm handle bar... but that time, no more budget and not willing to spend, and just forget about the handble bar...

somehow, the pains are gone when i ride even more! 3 days PCC inter-state event were my biggest cycling proud and satisfaction... priceless....

now, with 2 months of off season from cycling, cycle back, the tiny pains on back mucles are back...

it's their rules lar... many shops that are employing concept shop methods are doing this... spez and trek being one of the first few..

this is to ensure that dealers in that country do not sell their bikes to consumers outside of that country and undercut dealers from those countries... this is a system to ensure that all local dealers are treated fairly and don't eat into other people's businesses with some loophole like currency exchange rates and stuff...

the only thing you can do is fly there and buy or ask your friends who is going there to buy for you...

else, go gasak GH until they bring the damn tire in...

buy gatorskin lar... less headache...

the bike shop no carry Gatorskin... thus brought 2 GP4000s... they said the prices hike every quarter....

maybe next few months, go back my bike shop see look see look again...

so complex..haihs..when finding the correct stem, do you play with the saddle movement as well? Currently mine was fix at the maximum front end railing, making me pushed backwards as far as it can. perhaps I may overcome the need for a shorter stem after i move the saddle to the front a bit.

I am 173cm in height btw.

See my avatar..isn't my arms is a bit outstretched? It should be a relaxed bend..
