1) could you paste the links to the bikes you're considering?

2) not sure. i've never bought a complete bike from them, so can't really say la. never been to giant wangsa maju shop. and i've never seen bikefitting tools at pedalspot PJ shop. i guess they'd advice the frame size based on your height.

u can have a professional bikefitting session for rm300. let me know if you are interested.

i'd go with merida

give me your email address. i'll send you the flyer. it's 350, not 300. sorry.

but you need to have a bike first, i think.

u need to go back to the engineering aspect la. alu has definite fatigue lifespan. not with carbon. carbon has no fatigue life. coz fatigue can be calculated only on metal material. but that doesn't mean carbon is better. carbon quality depends on who manufactures them and the grade of carbon cloth and resin, etc. that argument about aluminum engine and aircraft is complete BS. the kind of loads applied onto a bicycle frame and onto aircraft and engine block are completely different. even the purpose also different.

promo for our shop la. but nobody interested. malaysians rich i guess, don't want free stuff.

of cos la it'll go into the shop's cash register

sell. coz u r gonna sell it anyway, right? remember ur sl5 plan?

all heart rate monitors use chest strap lah.

it depends on what you prefer. if the cyclocomputer type is what you prefer, then you won't choose wristwatch type no matter how good it is, right? so first you need to know, which type tickles ur fancy?

as for me, i don't like wristwatch type. i prefer cyclocomputer type.

u can do an easy test.
1) wear a wristwatch. go out on ur bike. time to time, look at your wristwatch. is it convenient? no problem?
2) are u the type who hates to mount and dismount a device/gadget onto your handlebar before and after every ride? you can mount your watch on your handlebar, but u need to remove it afterwards, and repeat it everytime before ur ride.

so, what's it gonna be?

i suggest you read this review first.

after u've read it, tell me what you think, and i'll add my experience with polar and garmin

personally, what i want to see on the display are; speed, distance, clock, heart rate. that's all. i don't need the extra features of garmin's (that's what i have now). i had a polar CS200 before, but the downside of it is the speed sensor unit is sealed. if the battery dies, u need to buy a complete sensor replacement. not cheap i tell u. they claim it can last 3500hrs of riding. but mine only lasted much much much less than that. then i bought garmin. the only thing i wanted was, reliability. just a few months of use, i had a problem with the garmin heart rate sensor. to me, died on me after only a few months, was just plain crap. some friends i knew had the same problem with garmin sensors. and they don't replace the sensor unit one-to-one. they take it from you first, and check, and took some time before they replace it for u. unlike polar warranty, i got mine replaced one-to-one right there right then, no question asked. garmin aftersale service really stinks.

so if what u want is the same as me, which is reliability, i will have to say, just go with the affordable ones and can give u the basic information. if my garmin dies again, i will just chuck it in the trashbin. my next option will be:

1) cateye strada digital wireless with heart rate monitor http://www.cateye.com/en/products/detail/CC-RD420DW/
OR
2) normal cateye cyclocomputer AND polar wristwatch type HRM
