Yea2..I'm still with my Merida here among the superbikes in my group ride. And i really mean it, 'superbikes' with the venges, cervelos, and the likes.

I feel like driving a kancil to a Ferrari gathering, but I kid u not it's on par with some of the Ferarris. Why? Because it's cycling and it's all depends on the rider smile.gif

My 105 can match the new DA9000, Red or whatever..but when u buy a better frame it gave you this psychological boost (like I'm telling myself how fast I am with my FR0 as that wheel is allowing myself to compete with the Ferarris).

7 years before upgrading to a new bike is amazing. Kudos bro!

For me I want the sl4 because of the looks. I know I'm still at my current speed even if I use top of the range bike anyway tongue.gif

Ps: perhaps when I'm back in msia I can join the p2k group already, 35-40kmh is getting easier nowadays thanks to a lot of group rides.. 85km each week smile.gif
*
now u know! Riding alone Vs Group ride! The improvement are huge!

This coming Malakoff Interstate Fellowship ride, my Gold Giant going to phail many many "superbikes" smile.gif

Er.. 85km each week, ur group ride only once a week? 85km is just short ride for P2K on sunshine Saturday morning where it's fast and furious ride.

its followed by Sunday on long hilly ride...

Hi all.

This is my precious bicycle. 21 speed shimano xt.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Oscar bike . Bought it for RM550 with my own salary money. Some upgrade here and there.

Been loving it for almost 7 months now. Going about 20~30km almost everyday.

Thinking to get a sub 1.5k~rm1.8k road bike.

Any recommendations?

Tq
*
er... dont you thinks u too fast thinks for upgrade? since it's your precious bicycle...

u should ride for another 12 months.... while in next 12 months, u can save ur bullet, top up ur current budget and can get a better roadbike.

like what butthead asked, what's ur intention for roadbike in next 2 year, 5 years, long term plan?

wow... butthead, you're like CEO...

QUOTE
wat are you looking for anyways??? i mean, in a bike of that range... your expectations? any requirements, minimum requirements, any expansion for budget, what you plan in future (upgrade, change better bike, own two or three more bikes)...

Just finished a ride..sad thing is I can't finished the 85km loop. My rear tyre blew up, and I meant the sidewall blew up together with the tubes inside. And it came with a nice little explosion as well..

Stranded at the 40km mark in the middle of desert and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna walk for the rest of 45km towards the starting line. Two italian riders stop by to help but they dont bring any spare tyres..

15 mind later, lucky me a support car was available and that's it, I'm saved.

P/s: it was my first puncture after 1000km and the gp4000s mileage was only around 400km I think..shit happens, and I'm lucky to have a support car for the ride..it'll be worst if the tyre blew off in a fast mountain descend!

I'll post the picture tonite, it's no tubular but why the heck did it exploded?
*
wow... normally people no carry spare tyres.

Er... are ur sidewall tyres breaks up?? my GP4000s got blow before, its was park at side during breakfast before ride start, and suddenly BOMB... blow out !

i quickly ran to check... tube is gone... big hole... but my GP4000s intact... just sidewall being blow out by tube...

i changed new tube, and put in back slowly with helps my another cyclist... and i start my ride for the day!

1st you need to tell us "about you"

Who?
What?
Where?
When?
Why?
How?

after we get clear picture of you, our YB Der Butthead can revert back to you.

yup. un-bearable...

imagine from Titi back to Hulu langat bt 18, going up hills still can achieve 20km/hr....

and last 5km before reaching Batu 14, still can speed up more than 40km/hr...

Avg speed are around 35km/hr plus plus...

now everyone trains for KL-PG coming this month end.
