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.

What the difference between a basic FSA headset and Chris King headset apart obvious bling factor? Function wise is it more or less the same?

Any toughts in regards to 3T Ergonova and Ergosum handle bar? What the good and bad in regards to this two design? I would like to buy from LBS but aussie price are super duper expensive when compared to other place.

Not sure wanna stick to my current handlebar as i don see anything wrong with it cos i never tried other handlebar first place?

What the difference between the egg shape bar (apart from flatter tops) and normal bar (is it compact)?

Wondering is it safe to slam the stem? I read like eg in Scott bikes they actually wrote this?



I asked the lbs if its safe to slam the stem and they as racer as well did slam teh stem too.

Wondering if anyone slam the stem here? I know its going to take a while to see if mah body going to take tat low postion.

So slaming teh stem is more about getting as lower postion when you are riding on the brake hoods right?

I see, the lbs where i bought my new bike and while was doing bike fitting they suggest me to try this and see how it goes... Can comeback later to put back the spacer if things doesnt go well for my back. Cant wait to go to local crit circuit to test out.

Got myself new bikes. My previous lbs where i usually go to snub me off when i told them i wanna buy a new bike from them (which is a pina paris). The snub me off in the way that they are not interested in doing business with me. They tell me they get back to me with the details after they "work things" out when in actualy fact they can just call the distributor and ask for the stock availability. Till now which is a month plus since it happens they haven contacted me or whatsoever. Guess they dont need my business when i am going to spend that amount of money on Pina paris. Not to mention their shop is actually more like premium dealer.

Ask them to fk off and now i settle with another lbs who more than keen to do business with me at the expense of starting the relationship with lbs all over again. Sure they dont carry many stuff as the previous lbs but my freinds who went there were really happy with thier service

Yeah, i plan to do long-ish ride (2 hours i guess) on crit circuit to see if things goes the way i wanted cos i plan to use that bike for Crit racing. The crit circuit is really empty during the weekdays so wanna try something as few interruption as possible.

I din get pina paris in the end. I got myself Scott foil team issue from the new lbs as they are having clearance for the next year model . Not to mention i got myself custom lightweight alloy wheel build to my spec from a well known builder in Sydney.

Tell me about that "vinanned" thing? I am so keen to buy from the previous lbs but what happen when i DO want to buy new bike really pissed me off with them and decided to move on to another lbs

Yeah, i got to know this guy after reading tru local forum. The best thing about this guy is that he will repair the wheels (carbon or alu) and you only had to pay for the parts/small consumables. He will still do it even you are racing with that wheel and you broke it after a crash. He really stand by his products. He will call you up and ask your citeria and he will suggest best lacing combo. You can custom everything from hub colour, spoke nipple, type of spokes, type of rim (23mm wide or normal width) and even the sticker colour. He even will lace powertap to you wheel if you choose teh option

Sure his item are more expensive than some big brands wheels but then when you take into account that he really stand by his product, i find its worth to pay that amount for it.

Its actually Greg/twe. I had to agree his stuff are quite pricey but I am fine with it & knowing shit happen i would not be worry about spare parts.

Mind tell what kind of wheel you are asking him to build up for you?

Being said about his pricing, i rather get myself an second hand low mileage twe carbon wheel. Not sure Greg will service the wheel if the wheel if it was bought from another person.

I heard usually factory rims cost as much as the actual wheel itself. Not sure if its true or not. I doubt local distributor will even bother to import it in here.
