sorry for spamming

Anyway, me and couple of mates started a small shop which more towards DJ specific stuff: http://www.primarybike.com/

We carry mostly Dartmoor, Octane One, DMR, Haro and some other stuff. Do check it out and let us know if you want to jump into DJ. We will try our best to help

Our shop is in PCP if you want to take a look around. Most stock already sold out and we are waiting for the 2012 stuffs to come in very2 soon.

Btw, here's our FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Primary-Bike/198845706822165

Cheers and have a good week!

Is it possible to get an entry bike for less than 1k? Only plan to use it to commute to work around 5km away....

road or mtb?

Only to commute to work, so either will do

why not considering folding bike with 20" tire.
comes with 7 speed.

budget wise, just nice with what you have

Just to name you few brand within ur budget.
Polygon
TRS
Dahon (maybe entry spec)

wow, did that happened to your Dash 18? from RxDxLxnk? am looking for a folding bike myself and thanks for the advice.

yeah, folding would be nice, but always thought a good folding bike will be >2k

thanks, will go survey a few shops

yes thats correct, so just a piece of advice to avoid bad luck, don't be shy to ask them to remove the tube for inspection,
one more thing tht i've found out, my other inner tube punctured shortly after a ride, when i removed it,
there are some metal shavings inside the rim, you know during manufacturing, they will machine the rim,
some how they din clean it enough, so i think the shavings punctured the tube, cos the puncture is
on the inside surface of the tube where it meets the rim/rim tape,
another thing you might wana consider is, at the bike shop, ask them to remove the tube,
make sure the inside is clean, run ur fingers along the rim tape, to make sure nothing is stuck there.
