Hi, to vin_ann & the experts here, I want to ask about the FAQ in the first post

QUOTE(vin_ann @ Aug 5 2013, 01:42 PM)
Frequently Asked Question on what kind of bikes to get:
1) Aluminum bike - 10 speed Tiagra (maybe mixed Tiagra - Sora), priced around RM3k up- this would be the absolute lowest point i would say to start from... any lower and you will land outside of 10speed equipment and any upgrades will certainly be more than the difference you saved not buying this bike.. shimano launched tiagra with 10speed beginning of this year making this a considerable choice... also, this grade of bike will have a more common grade of cockpit (handlebar, stem, seat post, saddle) and cheaper wheels
Would the Polygon C3.0 be considered equivalent to the "absolute lowest point" entry level bike at present?

It comes with 9 speed Sora groupset but costs RM2000 (a full 1000 less than what vin_ann wrote) at rodalink, or is RM3000 still the benchmark for an "entry level" bike?
