buy exitway enough. the extra money can go eat KFC.

wow...how come i didnt think of that.thanks

hmm, merida or carraro. 105 with full carbon frame, less than 5k.

guys, if u r buying a new bike, remember to ask the bike shop to remove the tube and inspect it.

my new bike tyre lost air suddenly, when i remove the tube, it has been simply patched. after 1 month, the bike shop won't replace a tube, they said u might have patched it urself...
bad luck....

sure below 5K with a 105 and carbon frame? ada betul ka?


wah.which shop is this? this is unbelievable

Serious. http://www.trisportz.com.my/products/CARRA...0--MANGHEN.html for the carraro one, price shows 5999 but i see people selling it 4999 cause they discon this unit alrd. its a 2010 model

And merida one, i went to their store, i remember them introducing a bike less than 5k. Full carbon with 105 specs!

fulamak...thanks for the info. and what did you end up getting?

No probs! haha, nothing YET. Saving up money to get the carraro one Go check their store at pudu fraser business park, nice bikes

eh...but the carbon carraro manyak berat lor. if you can save 7K you can get a scott CR1team.cr1 comp probably cheaper.the other slightly below 7K would be BH prisma 105

Scott has one carbon bike with Tiagra grouppo for less than 6k...


i think its a new 2012 model...

9kilo for a carbon bike... heavy.

btw, which bike have u short listed? interested to know too.

anyone know if there any import duty for road bike? i hear zero but need confirmation.

wahhh broadica oso here....


road bike is duty free!

hmm, the scott one look nice but i like the carraro's geometry, the top of the frame is horizontally straight, not curving downwards..
anyways where can get best price for cr1 comp? sounds like a good offer

what's the best bike for mountain bike beginners? price?

Hi Guys!!!
I am looking for advice as I would like to buy a mountain bike at roughly 2000/2500rm. I went to quick sports and they have the Carraro brand with the 419 Grunge (2000rm) and the 420 grunge disc (2500rm).
I am also planning to participate (not compete but just for the fun) in some sprint triathlons and would like to know if it is possible to use a mountain bike for this kind of event???
Thanks a lot for info.

sprint distance, old grandma bikes also acceptable mountain bike will definitely be fine too.

lol...triatlon need serious prepare of bike,mental and fizikal......btw,triatlon bike is aint cheap...of course mtb cannot ma

Ok thanks...yes I just want to try triathlon (sprint, then maybe olympic) for fun and so I am not planning to buy very expensive and quality bikes. No budget also!
Do you have any opinions on Carraro brand tough???

mtb this WAY.....do read the first page first


you can use mountainbikes in whatever races provided they are allowed.check the competition rules.sometimes you need to make sure your bike conforms to the standards or else you can be disqualified.malakoff allows mtb...who's is game for this?


cr1comp i believe is much cheaper and if its seriously less than 6k it not too bad of a bike with a decent carbon frame and entry level components.my advise before getting a bike,do a self bike fit so that you roughly know your size and which frame better suits you in terms of geometry. stiffness and comfort is another story altogether

calculator


one alloy bike that i really like is CAAD10

i silent reader only... can have quick ride on road.. belly growing bigger liao

confirm zero duty?

Added on August 19, 2011, 8:34 pminteresting, what kind of geometry to look for...
