comparison between sc bronson, mondraker dune rr & yt capra. all of them in alu frame. which is nicer?
*
Bronson will be more lively and snappier compared to the other two. Probably climbs better too. Dune and Capra nice for the downs and the really steep and techy stuff, may give you a bit more confidence.

I just tried a carbon Capra with a X2 shock and float 36 fork for a bit over the weekend. Super plush and planted. Very impressed.

Anyone interested in a DVO Jade coil? Bought July last year. Size is 216 x 63 mm. Will throw in a cane creek steel coil, 350 or 400 pounds if it fits your weight. PM for great price.

Does anyone knows how much does Intense Carbine frame only cost?

Intense T275 frame alone is about RM9k..

There is someone selling RM6k for a whole bike Intense Carbine, carbon fiber full suspension. Is this correct?

http://bicyclebuysell.com/item/387108/new-...bike-sram-x7-x9
Another post by the same guy, brand new Santa Cruz 5010, XT/SLX drivetrain. Fox Float. RM7.5k.
Is this trustable?

KSH was clearing the Carbine frame a while back for RM3999. Rm6k for complete 2nd hand bike is possible if the seller is desperate. Anyways, the 5010 is too good to be true. The seller just created the account on BBS. Most likely a scammer.

don't waste too much money for your first bike with a carbon one. if you find that you like mtb, you can be sure that you will upgrade to another bike. go alloy first.

Anyone broke their carbon bars before in kiara?

Not that I know of for the past 2 years. I think it's quite hard to break one with regular riding unless you crashed hard into something.

Thanks for the advice.
Its original Raceface Sixc 35 bar from KSH. My worries is the scratch marked on the stem clamp area would weaken the bar?
*
surface scratches are ok. just as long its not a crack. I have the same bar previously. don't worry about it.
