HI guys..

I said before in this forum that I intend to buy a brand new road bike under RM 4000.00 to increase my fitness level and cut some weights.

I've done survey on the market and these are list of bikes that I managed to find:

Discounted Price: RM 3300(Actually discounted price is around RM 38XX but Fuji is having stock clearance for 2012 models so the boss of this shop gave me about 30 % discount thumbup.gif )

Shop: Hee Hong Cycle, Taman Nirwana, Ampang
Retail Price: RM 4500
Discounted Price: RM 3900

What are your opinions guys?

What should I buy?

Fuji because its value for money? EMC because it has complete Shimano 105 5700 groupset or Boardman because it is more established brand.

I truly appreciate your opinions and thought in helping me making final decision. icon_question.gif

Thanks.... icon_rolleyes.gif

from a price point of view, Fuji since it's so damn cheap if you don't mind their in house oval parts and a mixture of cranks and calipers

else, the EMC for paper spec because of the carbon chainstay and an in house carbon seatpost and pretty much a full 105 setup for that price point which is not going to happen much often...

but, again.. as said then and always.. you have to see which shop you prefer as buying a bike is not as simple as just buying the bike itself... if you run into problems after purchase and the service is sucky as hell... you might as well make do with another bike or you end up paying for service at another shop that you didn't buy from... that itself, you have to be a judge yourself when you speak to them...

Do Oval make bad components?
