Nobody will know what bike you need other than yourselves. So just buy one at the price that you don't mind giving away and ride the hell out of it. The next bike will come closer to your dream bike.
Get the 406, keep changing and upgrade till it becomes your dream bike, then get a 451 and repeat the process, after which you start doing it on a 16", after which Brompton, … then you get a 700c Road Bike, and later it's variants such as TT bike AeroBike，touring， MTB 26", 27.5", 29" wich it's variants xc, downhill,… Hybrid… foldable 700c, minivelo 306, 359, 406.
Then you can start playing Triathlon, Ironman, cyclocrossmetc etc

But of course you can quit halfway and be a cycle-for-more-food AKA Kayuh-makan-kayuh, like me

The ideal number of bikes to own is n+1.
n being the number of bike you currently own. Just like golf

True, and my selection currently is quality with the budget i have. Will go check it out and decide.

down the road will do the upgrade / building one. I am a type of person like to dismantle and build

welcome to the club!
don't let quality delay your purchase. You can always do something about it afterward.  and plenty time to do that too…
*PS, almost everyone will start complaining over their bike within a month… no matter what bike…

Thanks, but don't welcome me first (lah) until i really got one. Been planning this since last year but due to other matters cant execute it.

"always do something about it" That I agreed, especially for person like me who like to dismantle and fix things.

Now I have to sell off my wife mint Tern N8 to make ways for more bike.

Tell me about this..
Started many many years ago with MTB, stop for 6 years, bought a Tern P9, idle for 6 months, then train for OCBC ride, bought another tern for wife. then backside itchy buy a road bike, after that, bought another folding Giant Expressway. The yesterday bought a Marin Touring bike...this disease no cure.

The 6 years i stop MTB, 26" wheelset creep up to 29". 9 speed mainstream became 11 speed...

Sell to weikee la….. make him an offer he can't resist

After that we con him to spend min 3x the purchase price on all kinds of modifications

But most likely he won't need us to con him… he will do it just like everyone else here LOL

I gottoo much poisoned in my body and wallet cannot take it. Arduino, Raspberry, Computers, Car... now Bike...

Hi sifus. Need your help on bike recommendation. Asking for friend.
Budget: RM1k including accessories
Purpose: recreation exercise not racing

Is this ok?

Weikee, u want to buy or not? New one 2.2k, mine hardly used low mileage can let go 1.4k

Great… next you can build a power
meter and GPS bike computer with Arduino and Raspberry Pi I personally prefer Beaglebone board.

Ok for me may not be ok for you.
But for recreational rider is good enough, until you decide to be a bit pro then you want to upgrade very difficult to do.
So if you don't want to upgrade in future, buy this, if you decide to upgrade you are better off with a new bike..
