QUOTE(Koh_XuMing @ Sep 27 2019, 11:53 PM) Hi guys, I have been interested in cycling for a quite a while now. I am thinking of getting a budget friendly road bike to give it a try. Probably less than 3K inclusive of all the necessary gears such as helmet, suits and shoes. These are my preferences; - Road bike only - No cheap carbon bikes - 9kg or lighter - Carbon fork - Shimano Tiagra and above (105 is preferred) - Major brands are preferred (trying to avoid Twitter, Alcott and etc) Do you guys have any suggestions on which road bike I should try? Any recommendation for bike shop with good services and competitive pricing around Klang Valley? Brand : Polygon (From Indonesia, but don't let it fool you) Price: RM2.2k up to RM3k Material: - aluminum frame - carbon fork Groupset: Tiagra got, 105 also got. Depends on your budget. Bike shop: Rodalink I suggest you look at Polygon Strattos S5, since it met your criteria. Full Shimano 105 setup + tubeless ready wheelset. If budget issue, Strattos S4 also ok but using Tiagra (10 cassette okay maa, I have conquered Puncak Alam + Dragonback) but wheelset don't support tubeless.
