i think both this bikes are priced differently right? and it's a very different bike... not just the components... one is an alloy frame and the other a carbon frame..

definitely the team carbon if you can afford it...either ways, components wise on both bikes.. there is high chances that you will be upgrading it anyway.. so, why bother???

yeah price is different
my worry is if i take that 1st option and i upgrade the components later the total cost will be equivalent to getting the 2nd option minus the carbon frame.

if u buy n upgrade, for sure final cost would be more than the complete bike

let's look at it this way.. on the 105 team carbon... there might be a chance you upgrade the wheel and leave the majority of the components as it is... +- 10k the whole bike..

on the apex road comp... there is also the same chance (albeit a higher chance) to upgrade the wheels making it the around 7-8k...

the major question is, do you prefer SRAM in the first place as the road comp is sram equipped although the entry level group... and yes, there is possibility that you might swap some parts out even if you prefer SRAM on the road comp but it should not result in as much as RM3k unless you upgrade the entire group to a higher end one... in that case, the same applies to the team carbon as it is also only equipped with the work horse group from shimano..

so, the question is not which is better.. the question is, if you will be itchy handed come to a couple months after owning the bike as both bikes have stuff that can potentially be bettered...

and after all that.. still comes to the question of the frame after all your upgrades where it might become a bottle neck...

if you say you are worried about trashing your first bike like crashing and damaging it.. the alloy one would be of a safer choice compared to a carbon one... but other than that... there is not much reason to get the alloy one is money is not of a constraint...and even to damage a carbon one.. you need a cataclysmic crash with most probably put you in the hospital as well to make that happen..

Because I do some running too.
Thought of getting a wind breaker for running (Ultra light weight) and can use for cycling as well.
Am looking at this actually.

Tried at RSH and Adidas outlet. Very satisfy with the weight and condition of it.

it's worth trying out since you need it for running anyways... but i dun see why you need a jacket in the first place.. we are more worried about heat dissipation while you want another layer that prevents it?

Was thinking to wear only that jacket during cycling
After all, I'm wearing jersey with arm warmer now. Thinking to go naked with only that wind breaker

ekceli, the jersey helps to dissipate heat and keeps u dry better than the jacket la

i would guess the windbreaker might feel funny against your skin without something in between...

how the thing feels aside... there is a couple of reason's why a jersey is better in a way is that cycling jersey's have pockets which is good if you want to use it to keep your mobile phones and any other nick nacks /snacks and stuff that you want to carry with you on your ride and to enable you to reach out to easily instead of stopping to get it out of your saddle pouch...

so, if the reason behind the windbreaker is to protect your arms from UV and IR rays.. i prefer to stick so short sleeve cycling jerseys with arm warmers which you can take off or long sleeve jerseys as there is flexibility to it... the windbreaker might not be of help in getting sweat off your skin and worst, it might not be nice to wear it in hot weather...

Thanks to both
Well noted

thanks for the advice i know what to do now

there might be other options out there around the same price or if you are looking for even cheaper carbon ones...

i think there is a merida scultura comp that comes equipped with tiagra for a little over RM5k...carbon frame with even lower end equipment if you plan to upgrade the hell out of it anyways...i believe so does other brands have simillar models...

if there is a meme that looks like this...

i dunno how to use it...

what? no fembot calibre?

I know there is a distributor near Bandar Puteri Klang selling their bike quite cheap. This is a new brand name "Cronus" from french.

They selling this model at RM8.5k only
ESPRESSO
Frame: 12K CARBON 48/51/54/57CM
Fork: 12K CARBON
SHIMANO ULTEGRA Groupset(20SP)
Rim: SHIMANO WH-RS20-L
FRAME 51CM + FORK 1470G/7.80KG

but they bike need to preorder
