Thank you for your answer, so when buying from hypermart there is a question of quality in that part might break quick and get wear and tear easily, also there is a lack of after sale service, also you mention that RM500 is the lower price bikes, i hope i understand these correctly

Currently my intended usage for the bike it to ride to the nearby mamak to tapau or to the nearby park to play basketball, both are 5 min walk away, so in term of usage I wont be "biking" per se, will this kind of daily usage wear and tear the bike as much as you say ?

Regarding after sale service, there is a bike shop near my place but they sell high end models, but will they service my bike in case of serious breakdown ? I've havent ride a bike in years, from memory the worst I had was the chain breaking, never did replace anything else, (i rode the bike for fun as a kid)

RM500 is lower price  shocking.gif  oh my god...  sweat.gif I might just drive then haha

RM 500 petrol last your for how long ?
