Hi, i a new in road bike. I was looking for some entry bikes in JB. Currently looking at 2013 Polygon helios c3.0 & c4.0. Not sure what it cost..

And also a shop owner intro me the Merida lite 903 (2013) @ rm3k , included water bottle&cage, basic pedal and bike stand. Is that a good deal?

Appreciate all the pro feedback smile.gif

the C4.0 would be a better option... most likely to be close to or even cheaper than the race lite 903 depending on your location... not sure about JB pricing...

the 903 @ RM3k is about there.. KL goes for about RM3.1k... bottle cage and the cheap pedals are standard stuff... and the bike stand is only RM35 at most...

the difference is that the c series polygon is an endurance bike where the frame is made to let you have a more comfortable position where you sit more upright and a tad more relaxed while the race lite 903 is of the racier geometry where you are a bit more low down on the front end...depends if you have the flexibility but the differences are not to say very huge looking at the geometry...

both is good and cheap reliable options...if the price is the same, go with whichever bike shop you feel that you can easily connect with since you will go back to them for tune ups repair and what's not...

Thx for the advice. At first i also set my choice for helios c4.0 due to the price ll be cheaper & lighter weight than merida lite 903, and also having shimano 105 & tiagra parts which is also better than 903. Too bad i cant find any dealer at jb. I Have to go SG rodalink if really wanna buy polygon product. Headache!
