If you plan your purchase right, you end up with a good bike, without any worries about upgrading parts and components...

Very few people get it right the first time and enjoy cycling their bikes without bothering about upgrades. The longer you ride your bike, the more you would like it..

wud u mind buying pre loved bike?
given de retail price bout 2k dis hasa is a bargain

Depends on the condition of the bike and price..

If its good, low mileage, no physical damage, then can consider the purchase.

More than often, pre-owned bikes are neglected and abused.. So, you end up spending more money refurbishing the bike..

On one instant, a cyclist wanted to sell his old folding bike. It was a "Da bike" from 1984, rusted all over, bent front rim and the guy wanted RM3K for it. Cannot justify the price due to poor condition and damaged front wheel. For him, it meant the world, to me, it was a heap of junk...

Sam

typically.. when someone tries to save money during the initial purchase... they often end up spending loads more after that...

but then, the complicated part here is... how would you know what is right for you??

so, i blame it solely on the insatiable human satisfaction...we are never born to be ever satisfied with anything...

Fuah Mr Butthead, very philosophical la.. hahaha!!!

One who can find contentment would always end up getting it right..

That's why we must go in with a clear thought, knowing what we want and making full use of it..

By investing in a good bike, you minimise the needs for upgrades and maximise its usage.. Good stuff makes a difference by performing better..

For those who are interested in riding Putrajaya this Saturday as per organized by Earlku, here's the map to the meeting point.

Car park at Monumen Alaf Baru. 6.00pm.

Great!! I'm ON, who else confirmed ? Head counts pls.

1) earl-ku
2) Robyn
3) etigge??

no lar... jus years of turning in roundabouts only...

in theory, yes... it is good to know what you want so your goals are clear.. but in actual fact, it is easier said than done when differencing opinions from multiple parties make life ever more confusing...

there is no guide book to getting the right bike and more money definitely does not mean the right bike...as with everything in life.. needs a bit of experimenting, failure, persistence to get to that point of so called self satisfaction for most of the bike geeks...sometimes, more often disappointment than pleasure in doing so...

so, the only advice i can tell people is.. always treat your first bike as an experiment...don't be sour because it does not turn up the way you expect it to... it is the vessel to where you find your footing in cycling..

is it true that a tern link p9 speed cant be upgraded?

is it this hasa and that hasa the same? forgot alrd where i see the samepicture being post..

It's the same person. If you like Hasa, the price RM1300 is actually quite OK given at that time when the father and son bought was about RM2.6K each. I don't know why they are selling but my guess is they changed to road bikes.

Just to share picture on light off road I done at FRIM yesterday after changing my tyre to Schwalbe Big Apple at Jonny's place. Damn, I love the Big Apple. Should have buy it earlier. Poor man suspension indeed. Really comfortable and for the good news, I thought it will be heavier than my Kenda 20x1.75 but supprisinly it's lighter.

Also got the chance to meet Foldie taikor/sifu at Jonny's place. Etigge was there too.

Going thru bump and hump will never be the same again.
