not to mention... lucy mcclane... the mcclane with hair...gets b**** slapped around so much in DH4 and still manage to stump matthew farrell by asking him to dig deeper and find a bigger set of balls...
that is so epic... not to mention that she is quite a hottie too... ![]() look at her staring fear straight in the eye...(although that guy looks like a gay hacker with gun, but it's fear nevertheless)..for a girl... she has so much balls than all of ours here merged into one... ![]() that is so un-comparable except for lara croft...

QUOTE(sunghajung11 @ Mar 1 2013, 12:28 PM) guys which one u think better? i would say ksyrium elite... but i trust the elite is also more expensive and i suspect some of the cheap ones outside that is being sold for RM1.8k are fake ones... (i was told that, never seen one before)fulcrum racinng 3 or mavic kysrium elite? any idea for both of the price? FR3 is around RM1.8k, maybe lower if you go to the right shops... Mavic would be above RM2k for sure... RM1.8k also i have seen before, but a bit suspicious as it is a couple hundred cheaper...and i do mean a couple hundred This post has been edited by butthead: Mar 1 2013, 12:34 PM |

Hey guys, i was thinking of reigniting my passion with cycling again. Used to compete alot during my secondary school days under novice and amateur races. Back then was the era of Miguel Indurain, Bjarne Riis, Jan Ullrich, Marco Pantani.. Now completely lost touch.
Whats a good bike to recommend for a budget of around 10k? I had dropped by FHL to look at some Pina's and was recommended FP Team with 105 groupset. What u guys think of this bike? Any other recommendations? |

Back then was the era of Miguel Indurain, Bjarne Riis, Jan Ullrich, Marco Pantani..

I had dropped by FHL to look at some Pina's and was recommended FP Team with 105 groupset. What u guys think of this bike? Any other recommendations? http://www.baikbike.com/bicycle-shops/ for RM10k... you won't get the best of carbon bikes but should still get a fairly decent one from reputable brands... a slight tad over RM10k might close deal on some ultegra equipped bikes if you don't take into account the gears (apparels, helmets, etc...) that goes along with the bike... there will be a lot of choices within that price bracket... the only way it to look at it yourself and then narrow it down then we might be able to help on the pros and cons of your narrowed down selection...

Hence the need for a shim sleeve. 1 1/8th " OD and 1" ID. With that I can use 1 1/8th stems la. Maybe I should try to make my own sleeve. I know a vendor but I buy spec stainless steel from. Not sure if they are willing to sell 1 feet of 1" OD tubes or not. I shall try on Mon/Tues then.... |

Unless you're in Penang / North... how much it costs here you have to ask the shops... seldom see doraemons around... or vin_ann might know as he is a doraemon fan Dont bother to spend precious time just look for Doraemons brand ya... unless there's a shop nearby ur place example: Samy bike shop at Batu Caves, Giant concept store @ Wangsa Walk.... now the main running event is over, i can resume my cycling activities lightly.... |
