Is this the thread only for road bike or also other bike can? as long as cycling on the road?
Im a newbie here. just get my bike. Wan find group to cycling together. By the way, Im from Wangsamaju.

Any opinions on Giant TCR3 road bike ? Written off the idea of shipping my bike from the UK due to shipping costs (RM1000+) and worried it could get damanged in transit etc.

Went to a bike shop and TCR3 (alu frame, carbon fork) is available for around RM2500 , does this sound reasonable?

I haven't ridden for over 9 months since I came to Malaysia, only ever in UK where I'm used to having a full carbon Cannondale (Synapse, 2008 model) will I notice much difference?

Of course still need to budget for pedals/shoes etc.

Or any other brand / model to recommend around the same price range? I can spend up to RM3500 for everything ...

Cannondale Synapse is what I have , very happy with it since I got it , was my first road bike. But with 105, not Tiagra groupset.

Wohooo I've finally gotmyself a bike .. Avanti vivace

3.5K .. with mix groupset of shim105 and tiagra (brakes)

Hi bro ... Sure .. I'm new here . Need to learn skill frm u guys =>

Hi riders,

I have been loitering and shopping at the bicycle shops around Klang Valley for awhile. Getting to know different brands and products each carries, and expand my cycling networking too.

Just a summary on the bike shops I have been to...

1. KSH Cycles (TTDI)
First, don't get confuse with KSH SS2 near Taman Megah, as they are different bosses at all. A small but compact shops, more for XC and DH bikes. There are few frames (on different brands) options for roadies too. Most importantly, very friendly and customer-centered service.

2. KSH (SS2)
Very neat, and clean show room, you won't be missed on the shop as the BIG Merida signboard on top. There are plenty of roadie jerseys to choose, and easily get poisoned to spend more...

3. Joo Ngan's Son (I'm Cyclist, Damansara Uptown)
Very friendly boss, and plenty of bike accessories. Appropriate pricing, and helpful staffs. They are nice to lodgers, even you are just window shopping.

4. BikePro (Taman Megah)
A place where you can meet pro riders occasionally, like Anuar M, Haffis and L2a team too. Plenty of shoes choices like Sidi, DMT; and other accessories too. Fully air-conditioned show room with Scott bikes mainly. This is a place where I can shop "quietly", without disturbance.

5. Due Roda Extreme (Shah Alam)
It carries bike for Bianchi, shared with superbikes next door. Good thing is, you can try on different Super-duper Bikes (engine idle, of cause) if you get bored on self-powered "dua roda". One more thing, you will be served by a MTB champion... He can be your riding companion (or coach) too!

These are just my experience, my apology if anything sounded bias. Happy shopping, and "kayuh" always...

LOL... Mind to share which excellent shop recommended you that option? Selling ur current 7spd bike and get a brand new 10spd bike is an option. Might be cheaper than part by part upgrades too. I think there are Exitway brand bikes that comes with 10spd SLX group set for 2k plus?

At 600 price range hydros, I consider pretty good Dee.. Those brakes can easily do 1 finger endo liow...
