QUOTE(JustcallmeLarry @ Jan 27 2020, 08:28 PM) i am staying very far from batu caves. But i did fb search this shop and in the first few post i did see they are selling a road bike for only rm999, fuuu damn good price. Just get a good quality alloy bike with at least shimano 105 11 speed and learn to pedal properly. Padding hard will not get you anywhere. Bicycles are simple things, the engine is you and the most important answer to your question. But the question is this super cheap bikes vs those super expensive carbon fiber bike will it be hard to keep up with them? Like if you are riding in a group do you have to be padding extra hard just to maintain speed with them???  |

QUOTE(JustcallmeLarry @ Jan 27 2020, 11:16 PM) but i see many here says the bike only matters a small percentage? A fit and powerful rider is more important? Nobody ever got shit for buying a Giant, Specialized or Canondale alloy bike.The downside of buying used bike or frames is you don't know if the bike really fits you. Buying a road bike is like getting a tailored shirt and each brand fits differently. All good if the bike fits you and your budget but always buy the bike that fits your body not your wallet. If you don't, your body will protest and then you'll need to spend again to buy another bike or fix your body. |

First bike, go to a lbs.
Cycling is an expensive sport. Deal with it or jog on. 3k for bike. What's the budget for cycling wear, socks shoes glasses and helm? That's easily another 1.5k. |
