meh, i figured going out of budget will make me not upgrade so soon would be fine. just save up slightly longer then.
just know your limits... else you will go overboard...QUOTE(mrjgx @ Apr 13 2013, 02:07 AM)
I think most of them are rarely used..perhaps less than 10 times 
open price 150 if people nego let see how..perhaps can go 130..see if got interested buyers. all bought in pedalspot maah..always rm220 bought new.
Now only collect Rapha. It's like a virus. Bought one stuff, then want another stuff
The thing about Rapha is, it is as what people always say about the brand. Freaking expensive! (the same goes to the other higher end stuffs, Assos, Capo, etc all are priced on par with each other). But they really good you know, good on the eyes and good on the feel. Just try their Classic Bibs and you don't feel like wearing other bibs you have and I'm not making this up.

Hey that happened to me. Was hunting for a bike nearly 2 years ago when out of sudden I get a slightly upper range from the Merida. It's a good bike brand though an with the good after sales services, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the brand. RM3.6k is good enough, can get Race Lite model i think.

racelite and ride series also can get... jus wat specs you intend to get?
QUOTE(Snowguy2068 @ Apr 13 2013, 02:24 AM)
racelite compared to giant mia should be about the same eh?
dont really get specs other than the the gears. aha
need alot of help here. so sorry. giant compared to merinda same range? how do they fare?
frame wise. a TCR is the same as the racelite... the defy would be leveled with the ride series from merida...dont really get specs other than the the gears. aha

aluminum frames are usually more or less the same.. they are usually spec'ed differently to adjust the pricing with the exception of a couple where they spend more efforts into making them lighter and better and hence, the higher price...
how would a TCR compare to a racelite.. hard to tell as non of us own both of this bikes at the same time for a direct comparison.. most likely it will ride the same..only question is the price and the weight if you are a weight weenie (and that would not be your consideration since you have a tight budget)

yesterday nite on my way back on kesas after the kota kemuning toll heading towards klang. I think there was an accident on the biker lane . saw afew fellow cyclist around there and an ambulance was seen coming. hope nothing serious
must have hit the barriers or something.. have seen a couple of similar cases... mostly concussion and they are without a car to transport the injured rider, have to depend on ambulance...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.

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
people's life is complicated enough and you want to make it more complicated than ever before... can't you just say prepare another RM500 just for accessories and other essentials??http://www.scott-sports.com/global/en/prod...er-20-cd20-l56/

I only buy tyre lever cause I have my other tools at home and my bike's relatively new so what the heck, I'm a cheapo.
In case of puncture, u need a tyre lever to remove the inner tube
your quick release should do the same job...if you are not running some lightweight ones...In case of puncture, u need a tyre lever to remove the inner tube
and a cheapo don't ride the scott that you are ridin...
QUOTE(Snowguy2068 @ Apr 13 2013, 10:59 AM)
cadence? what does that mean?
ah do you carry extra tubes around?
cadence? trust me... know about it later... you don't want to dig your head in too deep...that is an easily RM300 dollar question...ah do you carry extra tubes around?
tubes are an essential... but you can do without assuming you have someone who does not get pissed if you call them to pick you up every time you flat a tire...
QUOTE(Snowguy2068 @ Apr 13 2013, 11:00 AM)
how much is the scott? looks good, and a better than tiagra gearset.
havent seen scott in penang though.
brands like Scott, BMC, Trek, Specialized is asking for a blowned up budget.. wat looks nice does not look nice on your bank account...havent seen scott in penang though.
