Hiya, any idea for mid range frame to pair with sram red 2012? I am letting go my current frame as its slightly big for me.

Budget around 8k

I tot is over edi? Saw the queue mega long so i couldnt bother to have a look at it. I am thinking getting custom made stainless steel racing frame or ti frame

Was wondering any Giant dealer in kl? Other than giant shop in wangsa maju and Samy in batu caves. Looked tru bbs but most don have my size xs (51.5) top tube.

Wanna get something to replace my 54mm top tube which is too big for my 170 height. lol

Anyone of you concern about bb30 on their bike, certain shop tell me to stay away as it will creak

s which is 53.5 top tube is abit too long for me. That why i prefer something shorter than 53.5. I usually go down one size from the recommended suggestion. The problem is most shop is not honest and more keen to clear of their stock then giving honest opinion on what size you should ride.

I am considering either giant TCR slr or Caad 10. I prefered giant cos it using pressfit 86 but did not have my size in xs when i visited the two dealer mentioned earlier. For caad they do offer my size (not sure if dealer offer that) but I am worried bb30 as my stuff are gxp. Not sure if any converter i can use to convert bb30 to gxp. Wanna go custom route but stainless steel and titanium are quite pricey for those good quality race-able frame to complement my carbon bike

I am interested in PF86 or english thread cos my sram red crankset is GXP version. I would like to reuse what i have as i am not keen to spend 1k plus for bb30 version. Not to mention heard about horror story about creaking in bb30 equiped bike. That why i am looking for bike that have normal english thread or pf86.

Caad 10 and Allez e5 still using bb30. Not PF30 as the spec written.

So for 5k budget should i get an alu bike like caad10/tcr slr or i better off with known carbon frames?

Choices for RM5k bike are quite hard to satisfy my need for proper sized second racing bike Is there current racingbike still use threarded bb other my Ti bike?

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?

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?

Shimano's shoes got replacable parts for heel part? what happend if the heel pad worn out? That why i like Sidi cos most of their stuff are replacable. Pity i moved on to other shoes cos sidi shoe size i bought is a little too small for me but the same doesnt apply to sidi wire(tried at shop) with the same size, may need to downsize if i were to buy it. Bont shoes, nice but the fitting feel odd for me (got the feeling your feet is in mini bathtub) when i was trying out at the dealer, is it because the shoe have not oven bake??

I had 2 sets of shoe and i try to make sure i don walk to much as they pads are not replaceable




About power meter? Stages crank based power meter cost around 900USD, but sadly they dont sell outside US. Need someone to go US and bulk order for us. lol

Any idea how km's does SRM battery last? I do consider it last time but the price is just too awesome At least now we can send to SRM Oceana for service stuff.

bbs alot of dodgy thing to be honest, i saw few posting from diff user but using the same image

wondered how is the mondus operandi here? U say u are keen on the bike then he will ask you bank in the $ first before pickup item?

Cant believe caad 10 cost around RM5k plus for the 105 groupset. Was planing swap all my parts onto caad10 if i were to buy it. Its a pity they dont sell the frameset only

Lol caad is 'dale answer for racer who wan good frame but not keen to splash $$ on carbon frame. Giant TCR 1 (aluminium) only cost around 3.8k with 105 as well. Not sure if the alu TCR are as good as caad 10. Both are nice but price wise giant wins hands down but performance wise i not really sure about it. The tcr alu also have hydroform parts here and there & its compact frame as oppose to traditional frame to the caad (which also had hydroformed part if u raba the frame cant be seen in pics). The fitting for both also are quite close to frankly

Teh shop is near zoo negara area, they told me the carried the stuff from distributor in sg.

That being said, cycling is all about the legs. I had being tapaued by MSN junior rider on alu bike lol

Yeah it suppose to be light but just add few more gram over the manufacturer claims as usually its heavier in real world. I liked about the caad is they treat it as a proper racing rig, not like some other brand who treat alu road bike as entry level frame and spec it up with shitty stuff. Geo is the same as supersix model too. Price wise is comparable to mid/low end carbon frame.

I think giant TCR also the same as they said its all rounder frame for any skill level. Like caad the geo is same as the carbon TCR too. Not much info i can find on the net about giant TCR.

For me weight is not really concern for me as whatever weight saving i gained from the frame will be cancel out by my bottles and fully loaded saddle bag

Did your friend tried other bike apart from teh caad?

Do you guys considered shimano RS80 C50 as carbon wheel or alu/carbon wheel. My friend told me that he cosidered RS80 as a pure carbon wheel and i try beg to differ his opinion....

What ya guys think?

I showed those website before posting here and he said "for us we consider it as carbon clicnhers"

Meh allez E5 dont have my size... I would get it if they have my size 51.5 top tube
