How tall are you and your reach? Need to check your geometry correctly. 17" usually height >170cm. Adjust that seat pitch level to ground, adjust seatpost to correct height so that you stretch your legs full but not overly (hard to explain, go check how to setup geometry). Get a feel of the handle bar. Handlebar should be around the same height as seat as a start for XC and road riding. seat higher than handlebar and your shoulder will hurt as weight tranferred forward. Handlebar high and might get back ache on long xc rides. Some people got long reach, some people kaki panjang. Make sure you get a feel of it. If fit not right don't even bother looking at components. Don't get confused with Cyphereza's bike... Itu stunt man punya setup. Pain is part of the game  tongue.gif

All the bike parts are pretty basic. Don't expect too much. Don't know what fork is that. Coil or air spring? If coil and you are featherweight... Lockout or no lockout also no use. For that price think is coil spring.

My height 171cm, had some ride with my friend's 17in Polygon before, quite ok. Fork? No idea at all... Not gonna bother at it, maybe gonna change it, maybe not, just take it as it is, currently need a bike for myself. hmm.gif

Hi guys... Sorry for the interruption...

Recently i was offered this bike:

Trinx X1 with around RM800 these are the specs:
26 x 17 Aluminium Frame
Lockable front fork [Zoom] (i think this should be quite stiff...)
Sram X4 shifter
FD Shimano TX50
RD Sram X3
Sunrace MFM56 Crank
Brake Tektro HDC300
Kenda 26 x 1.95 Tire

Is this bike worth for the price tag?

You know it hurts to see the girl that you wanted so much with someone else... tongue.gif anyway go within your budget. Light trails ok la. Don't abuse bike and maintain bike regularly. Make sure your budget at least includes a decent brain bucket.

Lol, exactly... Well, currently i really gonna use it for light trail... I dont know whether you guys know the the Cherok Tokun or not[a small hill that locates quite near to my home which holds DH competition occasionally], but i gonna bring the new bike there for some light mountain biking. This bike mainly is to bring me to study[I study in USM Engineering Campus, which is a small campus] and for some exercise, as i used to bike around the campus, on road and some light off road.

Well, as i mentioned Cherok Tokun, it is a place that many bikers gather and go for mountain biking. You can see a lot of bike there especially weekends! Specialized, Giant, Polygon, Merida, Trek and many more, just like a mini biking club. biggrin.gif

Exitway is for Bangla and Indon ride to work. No matter what they say.
You only have 1 choice. That is Scott.
Size wise... theoretically, size L. But better go check with Botak and test it yourself.
