Yo bro ... if you have a budget around 5k to 6k ... I would advise you to get a fully aluminium or aluminium with carbon B-stay. With your budget ... you can get a fully carbon ... but very low end 1 and its not stiff. If you want to go for a fully carbon ... I'll advise you to go for something at least above RM11K. Normally good carbon frames are like Trek, cervelo, or colnagoYou can try going to Joo Ngan Bicycle Centre and have a look ... They are the distributer for trek, cannondale and also a new brand called CSK. If you're budgeting, I'll recommend you the CSK ... its actually an italian produck but paint job done by a taiwanese. its a very good frame just that paint design kinda weird. If you want the address ... PM me. |

I used to cycle competitively, but too much politics in malaysian sports, What a shame , hehe. I've actually tried out a lot of bikes, and to be honest, if you want to enjoy riding your bike, you must have a good frame with a correct size Components comes after that (at least a shimano 105). Carbon frames are very rigid and it gives great response but when you go long distance, its very uncomfortable expecially on malaysian roads. P/S: I love cycling very much, but ever since i start to work, my mom give away my favourate bike which cost me RM3000.00 to buy during my younger school days, what a pitty... Currently, I'm riding a merlin titanium with dura-ace. Frame is kinda flexible which means less response but its great for long distance ride, its very comfortable and the frame does not corrose. Next bike will want something abit rigid, maybe will go for a litespeed titanium with carbon reinforce B-stay. |

I left competitive cycling in 2000 after almost 9 years. Recently I surfed to KSH website & was shocked to find out how much a decent bike costs these days. If I'm not mistaken, the new Look 580 frame costs RM10,800 !! During my day, U could get a Look KG196 with at least Dura Ace componentry with that kind of money. But of course, technologically, a lot has improved.
My bike was a Giant CFR-1 (RM1280) with mixed components. Shifter was Shimano RX-100 STI, front derailleur was Dura Ace, Shimano Ultegra rear derailleur with 8 speed casette (12-23T), Selle Italia Flite Ti saddle, Look Carbo Pro pedals, Shimano 105 crankset (53-39T), Cinelli stem, Mavic deep drop handlebar, Deore XT headset, Mavic clincher wheelset. My helmet was Bell Razor Pro Pump, Briko Stinger glasses, Shimano R120 shoes. Clothing was provided by my team. It costs around RM4,000.00, I sold it for RM1K. I saw some Lerun models but wasn't really impressed with the component offering. Perhaps U could buy the bike & upgrade the components later. |

ZIPP will be my favourite. mavic will be the minimum. good pair of wheels determines how good and how steep you can corner w/o much vibration get the sizing correct. size is very sensitive on a road bike since you'll spend a lot of time seated (vs mountain bike) get most of your money spent on these and u'll never go wrong: 1. soft, xtra light, xtra comfortable leather saddle (i recommend selle italia flite gel titanium - rm 300+) 2. carbon streamlined (tapered) seat post - rm 150+ 3. good set of very light wheels with tapered rim and the least amount of spoke - rm 1,500+ 4. pedals. use dedicate road clipless pedal. they're wider and lighter than MTB counterparts. recommend time pedals 5. road specific shoes. theyr'e extremely light, very airy and very very stiff (carbon soles) - SiDi carbons - rm 250+, do i have to say more? (be careful, some cheaper SiDi are made somewhere else. be sure yours is made in good old italy) QUOTE(ignn_tion @ Mar 5 2007, 05:55 PM) Yo bro ... if you have a budget around 5k to 6k ...

But of course, technologically, a lot has improved. Lerun bikes are actually from taiwan ... just that its assembly over here. Actually since 1 and half years ago .... the prices for bikes has went up. Some american companies also entered into china and make their bikes there and shimano components lower that 105 is made in malaysia. Their factory is at johor ... that's y I always recommend riders out there to have at least a shimano 105 components, otherwise go for a campagnolo(lowest range).My bike was a Giant CFR-1 (RM1280) with mixed components.

I've used the 404 before but sold it after that. Braking is very bad during the raining season because I'm using the tubeless type (even with special brake pads for carbon walls). So you guys may wanna consider getting the clincer type ... hehe. |
