Shimano is a good brand which manufactures low end till high end parts.

And it is our proton. Everything has been taken and re-badge so no worries there. Most of the stock parts are reasonable.

Owh the T-Bike you mean....

I'm now are looking at www.lerun.com.my, got cool looking bikes there...hehehehe...non of them sound european...but they do look cool...

I suppose they are entry level or overated in prices like Tamiya right??

Lerun a few years ago, i would not even consider looking at them but they have been bucking up ever since. Would not mind owning one as a starter bike.

And if you get a hang of it or really want to take it further, upgrades are always available.

i used to play Tamiya Mini 4wd lol...

spent ard rm400 on that thing

and i still have it on my monitor lol...

Something like this is considered so-so. Lol

hehehe oh my fen just got a yeti asx cost a bomb!! my dream bike though...

kona7,
wah...haven't buy helmet AR?? buy "full face" like nightstalker la.. hehehhee. ...where ya plan to offroad?

Kona's new suspension system.. Looks radical! http://www.konaworld.com/launch/launch_magic/magicdemo.html

Yo me0wster...

Manage to contact my fren... He mentioned that you wanted it by next monht.. He says if you are really interested, put a booking fee..

Just informing you.. MY PM button not working...

Whoa.. Forking out cash is something i cannot do now.. Just spent a bomb remember? Check out my blog for the pics!

Well, i guess i'll get back to him once next month comes!

hey antonio, only been seing you in musician forum. tehehe. MTB isn't a richman's sport. When it comes to rm10k bikes it means ure serious into mtbing for ur hobby. take me for an example. i bought a cheap bike 1st at around rm450. it's a rockbike. it's okay for a while but then u started to want to upgrade. so i buy another bike buy parts by parts. slowly. most of them are second hands. Now the total of my 2nd bike is around rm1k. it's better actually for u 2 buy a bike straightaway as a whole unless you don't have d bux like me aka student life. but i know you can go further. come on look at ur guitar collections man. tehehe.

before anything measure ur size for the frame!

Yup, started of with a cheapo kona like frame and now.. Spend lots dy.. >.<

as i said last time,that full face helmet ain't mine

rm400 rather spend on my gearing system

and i also same...

started at rm400 cheap alu bike then slowly upgrade the brakes and front fork lol...

nx would be my rear hub + 9 speed cassete + Deore LX shifter + 9 speed chain which will cost ard rm400 or less lol...

Well I started mtb with my RM200 Lerun rigid, gained experience and trained with it. Den 1 shot get a decent mtb, but sadly now the Lerun is stolen! It's always ok to start with a cheaper bike, better training and more flexibility.

Hehehe.. I know that.. Thats waht I told him... I dun think he'll be selling the bike or the parts anytime soon this month...

I wanted to have his fork but then opt for RS RVL 08 by end of this month.. After that need to change my gear grouping..

Well, cheapskate ppl like me go for 2nd hand stuff!!! Hahaha. But that fork is an air fork rite?

Hehehe.. I think so this is an air fork.. U no cheapskate la.. U same like me la.. buy 2nd stuff at a bargain...

The RS RVL08 already check with my fren.. He say can pay 2 times... Ok loh.. Price almost the same as the RVL07 wan...

Added on July 18, 2007, 11:20 amI started off with a Proton T-Bolt for RM 900 (Installment 2 month with a fren) then upgraded some part bit by bit..

Total spent almost RM3.5K include the bike.. Last upgrade was Alexrims TD16 with Magura Hubs, Magura Julie Hydro and Shimano DX pedal..

Most probably gonna spend another RM2K for the RS RVL and maybe either some XT groupie of SRAM groupie..

The LX setup unable to withstand the downhill every week... ekekekek
