Hey guys hope your can give me a honest answer. I want to get a road bike mostly for health reason to keep fit so my question is:
1. My budget is not more then rm 1k. Should I just forget about this hobby with that budget? Bcs I see ppl buying minimum 6k - price about the same to my Myvvi. Will a 1k bike be not enjoyable to ride???
2.mostly my gf will be joining me. Wta how do I join those cycling groups with boy & girls riders I usually see they wear uniform also. Bcs we would prefer to ride in a group.
***will be riding at Sunway or PJ area

QUOTE(dinraxxx @ Dec 27 2011, 12:42 PM) to be honest, Rm 1k for a roadbike is similar to buying a mountain bike - heavy.Most people spent RM 4k and above just to get a weight below 9kg.and to get a groupset of Shimano Tiagra-Ultegra/Sram Apex-Sram Rival.And most importantly is this, if you don't plan for upgrading your bike, getting an expensive bike is the only way to enjoy cycling.If you're getting your gf to cycling too, why not cycling with other people too and increase the community of socializing while biking.My 2 cents advice. Hi there, thanks for replying. So minimum to spend on this sport to start is rm 4k?  Ya i don't think i be upgrading the bike bcs of budget.. No most of the ppl we know don't believe in outdoor activities. The rather spend the money on those fancy gyms... Would like to know can join cycling group? Bcs i sometimes see group of boys & girls cycling around with their own uniforms are these groups of are they just friends??? Any bro or sis here part of any cycling group??? |

QUOTE(Eokboy @ Dec 27 2011, 02:56 PM) My Giant OCR3 was RM1800 and it is a thoroughly enjoyable bike. I rode 5000km on it last year and raced it too against people with RM10000+ bikes. I think there is nothing wrong with most entry-level Shimano Sora equipped bikes. Also don't forget helmet, bib/jersey, shoes, clipless pedal etc... If you know any clubs nearby, you MUST join one. Group rides are much more fun than riding alone. Yes bro.. I'm trying to find out how do i find these kind of groups that i see cycling around??? |
