Btw the Tacx Booster damn syiok. It's a bit on the silent side compare to my previous Minoura B60, so stable even on an all out out of the saddle..

Worth the money..

Too good to be bothered (TGTB)

not that you don't value... it's just that some people has a merc at home and drives a kancil to pasar. because scared the buffalo testicles will dirty his merc.. and some people will drive the merc to pasar without a spot of bother...

watever u are happy with dude... i don't think the road is more abrasive than a trainer wheel...unless you always lock up your wheels from high speed...

Hi all.

This is my precious bicycle. 21 speed shimano xt.



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

Ok i come in peace.


Looks like this is not a place for a poor bike lover like me.

Good day everyone. Ride safe.

was jus kidding.. hard to get out of trolling mode once at top flight... it's the off season and we spend time trolling each other to pass time... give some time to readjust a bit and go back into sensible mode first...

it's not poor bike lover or rich bike lover thing... but we might end up corrupting you...haha...if you are not afraid...

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)...

this are things that seems like nonsense.. but helps lay out your road map...

aiduh bro... people come in peace seeking some opinion with budget....

give la your precise 2 cent worth of suggestion that suit along his budget...

dont be so kim siap ma....

have u ask in ur bike shop? do they have bike that sells around RM1.5 suit ur budget?

Any brand of road bike that suit my budget. RM1.5k~RM1.8k

Corruption is a good way of learning too i guess. And to motivate me to work harder.

Im in Sarawak btw. To get good type of 2 wheels is a dream here.

Only one official Polygon shop in MJC Kuching which is 9 hours drive from my place.

oi... i told him adi lor... he suddenly cucuk masuk when i am in gear lima... wat u expect me to do... cannot masuk gostan gear rite.. you got drive car or not one?

let me gather my thoughts first mar... as miao points out... i watch too much porn... so my thinking is super slow.. it's either full c0ck mode or full professor x mode...

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...

err... that's an unexpected blunder...

polygon is a good budget brand... merida is possibly another one...

let me set your expectations first since i don't have much details on your wants and needs...

for RM1.5k - RM1.8k budget with a reputable brands... you will most likely get an aluminum bike (obviously) with some 8-speed equipment like shimano 2300 and sora mix probably..not to say bad, it is a usable bike...

an upgrade to better equipment means 10-speed 105 will set you back RM1.8k on top of your bike... if you jump to 9speed, it's going to be a complete waste of money...if you feel what i am trying to convey at this point...

done with the upgrade possibilities of the bike...now, onto what you ride....

would you say your routes there are flattish, or a lot of climbs, or rolling conditions? flat routes *might not make you find your budget bike inadequate... but if you are into lots of climbing and you start realizing you need to lighten your equipment or play with wider gear ranges.. here, you are quite stuffed as you will be looking at spending a heck lot to do it...

then comes aesthetics?? does look matter to you? budget bikes are usually made to look less appealing because they want to sell more expensive bikes... i have not much input on that because i don't give a flying crap about looks... but if looks is more important than functionality for you... good luck matey...

A good point there.

My far reach planning is to maintain the bike for everyday use, perhaps for another 3 years.
Upgrading parts, or cosmetics.

Not into very high end or competition parts. Main aim is to cycle better and more efficient with reasonable budget.
