what's the price range for raleigh road bikes?

I dun think U need a permit to use roof racks. Just check with JPJ la.. but I really dun think there's any requirement for a permit, or else we won't see so many roof racks on so many cars.

Added on October 13, 2010, 9:28 amUsed to be. When I was racing the track program at SSBJ was just starting. That was like 12 years ago, so I dun think Azizulhasni was around at that time. My specialty was sprints & kilo.. I was a track sprinter. Ranked as high as 2nd national in 1996.

When I decided to quit, Josiah had just returned to Malaysia, met him a couple of times, never had the chance to race him though.

My former coach, Rosman Alwi is now coach at SSBJ (I think)..

Azizulhasni is indeed a special breed. & the whole national track team is now really world-class, with a world-class coach & managing to challenge at world level. During my time, U'd never heard of anybody clocking 10secs for flying 200m, the national record in 1997 was 10.98 by Rosman. Nowadays at least 4-5 guys in the track team is capable of clocking mid 10secs.

In the late 90s & early 2000s, our best kilo rider was Jamil Kadiron (I dunno where he is now). His best time (& national record) was around 1:08. Nowadays Rizal Tisin can do very low 1:02s... at ACC last year I think he won it with 1:01.. during my time, that kinda time was a world record...

So much has changed now in track cycling, better bikes, better training technique, better understanding of aerodynamics... all that contributes to phenomenal times. Wished I had stayed around longer...

thanks tenno..

I have the same thought... roof rack does not need to apply any valid license for 1 bike carrier.

I think the JPJ officer taking advantage to talk more since I have an offense already.

Anyway, just a sharing to you guys should you all bumped into such cases in future.

guys. where can i buy fixie bikes? shop near bangi/putrajaya?

where do you guys normally train with your road bike?

I'm not quite sure if Raleigh's road bikes are available in Msian market.. years ago Raleigh's got a couple of low-end models, the Rapide & Super Rapide.. those are easily found at any bike shops, even "uncle" ones... Maybe it's being sold under other brand names... like Lerun was a Raleigh model.. but those are for mountain bikes..

Added on October 14, 2010, 7:36 pmIf U just wanna be just-another-rider then all U need to do is train hard. But if U wanna be a champion & compete at the highest levels, U need to have the genetics first of all, then the heart of a champion (very rare, in Malaysia maybe only evident in Azizulhasni, Nicol David & LCW), then U need to have extremely high tolerance for pain & never, ever give up.

Of course, U need the legs also la. But then that can be developed. A champion material like Azizulhasni wasn't produced overnite.... (well, maybe he was "produced" at nite though... )

If you are looking for normal bikes, not the "terror" spec or "terror" price ones. Then this uncle shop calls Heavy Tools in SS15, Subang Jaya is the cheapest around. You can check catalog and ask him to order for you from supplier. He doesn't carry high end bikes, mostly, entry-level bikes.

His contact: 0356346610

Case: My friend bought Raleigh Diablo (entry-level MTB) from him for RM740 and USJ Cycles price is higher.

Me and my father planning to pick up road-biking, usj cycles bringing any road bike priced at 3~5k?

isn't ZIPP a tyre and rim brand, not bike brand la

oh , so where to find those thing?

due to size problem, I'm selling my just-bought Trek Madone 5.2, so if u're interested, just pm me =)

And welcome to the big family of road cycling!

Wat's the size of the bike mate?

There was a Zipp bike, developed for TT & Triathlon, I dunno if they still produce it though. But Zipp is primarily a wheels & parts manufacturer though.

Size 52, you can search for Trek in Garage Sales or bicyclebuysell.com to check the specs and price, cause not convenient for me to post it here =)
