Butthead, how your research on Swift carbon bike? Did your friend actually pull trigger on the bike? How much does the TI and RS-1 frameset cost in ksh?

dafuq y d face looks like octomom?

How this thing work? How the "thule" gadget stick on the car? Screw in?

I guess it is one of these.

wow rapha jersey and fake jersey damn different quality T.T

heard his bike was out...

Ti is a bit over RM6k...

RS1 is a bit over RM5k...

specific details, i am not too sure because i was working today...

where got... maciam ellen page lar...

of course lar... you do get what you pay for.....

even my fake sugoi feels quite different from my moa jerseys...which is not quite so sugoi ne...

the only thing i like about the sugoi is because of the loose cutting and sizing which is not available in most of the jerseys here...

but still the price like 200 usd for a jersey.dayum

on another note ive been watching lots of rapha continental vids, those black steel bikes with pink chris king hubs.. so so hot. are they really that nice to ride? ive only ridden alu, like are they earth and moon or just abit different?

Chris king hubs is carbon?
If so, u can try out fr0 carbon hub first and feel any different.

not carbon but steel

I did went to dealer to see on ultravox, for that price i think its quite okay. The guy said still can further discount the TI if i were to decide to buy the frame. What you think about their lower end Attack bike?

I am still unsure to go for custom stainless steel frame or another carbon bike @@

Noticed the 2014 frame went upt to 7k plus in their website @@

Any idea how much does 'dale Caad 10 in 105 cost here in KL?

is this an open invitation to a troll party?

stainless steel OR an mtb

caad10 i think about 7-8k

wait till you see assos....200usd is considered kids play...rapha is for a specific genre of buyer who want a bit of classic looking style...

actually... the selling point for CK is the longevity of their US made bearings and hub internals... the hub shell itself is super tough for it's rather OK'ish light weightedness (that is if you look at those exploding super lightweight tune or extralite hubs)...

and it has a simultaneous 72 point engagement ring drive mechanism which doesn't really give roadies much of an advantage (and some even argue it creates more drivetrain drag).. MTB'ers will appreciate it because with it's super low gears.. any miniscule movements on the crank will be caught on by the drive mechanism compared to other lesser engagement point hubs (24 or 36 point types)

technically... it also has a larger 17mm aluminum axle which is both light and slightly stiffer than conventional 15mm used on most hubs...

the other stuff is like color choices... variety of spoke holes.... and yada yada yada...

actually FR0 is only a partial carbon hub shell.. and with weight reduction in the center of the wheel... it actually ain't gonna help much as not as much power is needed to overcome the inertia of the weight itself...what it does is only lighten the overall weight of the wheel without changing much of the spin up rate... if the weight reduction were to happen further out of the wheel like the rim...then, it's another story....

and furthermore, chris king has the ability to let you custom your wheels providing you can find the rims you want...that is whether you like carbon, alloy, aero, climbing, or box type rims...

actually... most of the internals on the CK R45 is aluminum... that is why they can make it all the way down to 210+ grams for the rear hub and 105 grams i think for the front.....

why would you think that it would lead to massive trolling activities?

i don't know what are you swapping this bike with...but very evidently... there isn't much point to buy u-vox attack unless you are tight on budget, there is a possibility it might just feel like any good alloy bike...for one.. it doesn't hae all the design features of the higher end Ti (if things like box type tubing and stuff makes it good).. and second... it's price is not massively lower than the RS-1...

RS-1 is practically a mirror copy of the Ti but made to be priced lower by using some lower grade carbon that affects it's stiffness and strength... and nevertheless, more weight....

price of 7k or 7.5k on baikbike is just a retail value... it is definitely much lesser than that when you are there with a deep interest on purchasing it....

where to find custom stainless steel locally short of visiting handmade bike makers in US?

custom lar....

actually can order condor online, coz i know a guy who purchased a condor steel bike that way

Hi, I've got a questions for all Bike Enthusiast

Have anyone bought Bicycles from Tesco before, how have the quality been for you ?

I am looking for a simple bicycle to go around my housing area, so I am not looking for anything special nor am wanting to pay the high price of specialty bikes

Also, what is the price range for such bikes which fits my needs and where else can I get them ?
