yup, with premium HRM.

WAHHHHHH So cheap nvm la, I dealt with bro dinraxxx already.

Will be getting the watch and the sensor later, yay!

Would it be better to go for alu or entry level carbon then?

you need to tell us about urself.

budget got already RM5k. does it just for bike only or include accessories.

mind you, you need to get cycling wears, helmet, bike meter, clip pedal, clip shoe etc etc...

so its important you tell us ur goal. ur cycling goal. what you wish to achieve in 2 years time...

ok, you can start with A/S/L.

aah..perhaps early next year then. saving money.

that shiv looks fast! i've seen P5 before, so flat like it's made from card board..

OTH, one guy latched on my rear wheel...i smoked him on a short climb. and that moment, was really SWEET. Looking forward for more moments like that in the future

Could it be possible that the guy you smoked was following his HRM zone strictly, letting his ego took a back seat. So....false sense of jubilation!

Actually I'm just asking on behalf of my partner. He's 33. 192cm and 115kg. He intend to do cycling as workout. His friends and cousins cycle too. Supposedly want to go bike shopping this weekend but will be grateful for any pointers and feedback from more active cyclist here.

OH OH!!!! U R IN DEEP SHEET!!!!

Another Vin_Ann's attack!!!

Attack Mrjgx.....noooooooooooo! Please buy the best equipment available and launch some counter strike. Either successful or landed in deeper $hit.

u wan sponsor my flight to Dubai???

Polygon have a good selection of flat bar bikes around RM1-2k. rest of money can invest in accessories ie. stand pump, hand pump, helmat, in this case, clip shoe clip pedal not required, cycling pant, cycling jersey, a good sunglasses, bike meter.

cycle is 1 thing, look good also another important thing.

waits, ur partner friend and cousins never poison ur partner??? ish ish.... this is not how cycling community works!

we poisons each other.

Dude, u r different level than me..it's no fun to fight someone so powerless like myself. alu bike some more. i give u Menang tanpa bertanding. Lol

Your worries are over, he has no budget for plane ticket or not worth the budget.....and no suckers sponsors available here.
Best of all, no glory in beating Alu. Bike!!

Any thoughts on Opera Super Leonardo? All i know from the net and from lbs that it is a low profile pinarrelo older design.. Is it common in Malaysia or Singapore? Its rare in Australia cos the dealer is pushing more on Pinarello.

Notice super Leonardo is equivalent to Paris

My lbs is dealer for opera and I am considering building up a bike from it before i come back to kl for good.

Hi actually they poison him terribly. Brand like Time. Ducati. Argon. Look. But we prefer not to spend so much so that's why seek external advice. They said Polygon out but no give reason.

Some say my partner is tall. Frame hard to find. Better get expensive frame from start so no need upgrade frame, only parts. Justification is my partner tall, big bike less resale value. Harder to sell. Others say start small. Get normal bike and upgrade as he goes. What's your advise?

Noticed front page got put price range. That will help.

where's your location?

Selangor... setia alam. Why?

have you and your partner ever visited any bike shop? Visit few bike shops, and you will be able to identify which is good which is just pushing to sell.

walk into bike shop with clear intention on ur purpose of bike and budget.

A good sales person will explain to you accordingly (which you will be hardly find nowadays) most of people walk into bike shop with homework and research done at home.

Polygon is from Indonesia and in other's mind it's no match with brands u mention above. Thus no reason needed. death penalty.

there's many thoughts on a bike.

For some, they know their path, race intention, thus they get the high end carbon bike and no future upgrades needed.
For some, they dont know how much they will likes cycling, thus they get entry aluminium level bike.
For some, they know they likes cycling, but dont know how far, how sustain they able to be in cycling, they get mid level aluminium bike with 105 spec.

beside that, an after sale service from a bike shop also important.

We not able to put price on front page as the prices of a bike can range from hundreds until many many thousand.

btw, not yet buy a bike already thinks of its resell value? this wont be helping you in getting a bike.

Where is our Sales Director/cum CEO!..... BH?
