QUOTE(lilredridinghood @ Apr 13 2013, 09:57 AM) 3.6k eh? Okay, I know I shouldn't reveal this but oh well, in PJ, I got quoted at around similar price range for this. 2013 model, not 2012. what are tyre level or what are the other needed tools? air pump as in the handheld one?http://www.scott-sports.com/global/en/prod...er-20-cd20-l56/ But itchy backside me, I couldn't wait for my size so I settled for something more expensive. You have to take certain essentials into account as well Helmets for your head Cycling shorts/bibs for your crotch Jersey(I did not buy when I first got mine but the back pockets are really useful) Saddle bags(For phones, tubes, tools) Tools especially tyre lever(very important) And not forgetting air pump as well as tubes(about 15 bucks only la) There are certain things you might consider as well. For a cheapo like me, I settled for the cheapest shoes and cheapest clipless pedals but then again, those are optional Glasses, took me another few months to order one Gloves, did not bother but after a few long rides, the cramp and stiffness on your arms may make you consider wanting to go for those Bike front and back lights, LED especially, don't save on that if you are really riding at night, I spent 70 bucks only to realize that it was not bright enough, now am looking at some LEDs ones. Bike computer, pretty important and being the cheapo me, I haven't bought any but I was lucky to have a friend to give me one of his wired cateyes with cadence, haven't installed though im wearing glasses so do I still need shades? gloves no prob the bicycle computer can i replace with a android app? |
