Hello fellas,
i am looking for some advise before buying a Proton T-Bolt.  Ran a search in the Sports Channel but i can't find any discussion about this bike.

anyone using this bike with advise?

I dun bike now but would like to start.  Gotta find something to do that is both interesting and healthy.  I got an offer for this bike @ less than RM900.  so i am thinking should i get this.

T-Blaze goes for RM400.
*
I saw a Proton T-bolt in lelong.com.my too... RM1000...
U got rm900? Anymore stocks?

I like the T-Bolt. It's acctually a good all around bike for that price. If you're opting for branded like Merida, Giant, Specialized, Kona, whatever, you'l probably be able to get a frame and maybe just a fork as well only.
Agree agree... I only can afford T-bolt only... tongue.gif

QUOTE(mushr00m @ Feb 15 2008, 08:27 PM)
So far it was very loyal to me.. Doing XC/AM/FR with  and it was ok..  Upgraded some parts of it including rear DNM coil shox, a DNM Mirage double crown fork..

I need to get back with you onthe price as my fren selling it is on the Le Tour de Langkawi.. He will only be back early next week...
ok... thanks a lot... bankrupt already treat u all makan... sweat.gif laugh.gif

You might want to check out the forums at FakawiTribe.  They have one thread dedicated to T-Bolts.  And i must say, they relly pimped it up real nice!

they have diff colours...

07' model might means the parts are 07'(rd,fd,shifters)...

and btw the creaking sound on my bike is getting more and more serious...

the fork even have a bit of play even with the top cap tightened tightly -.-"

sent my bike to 2 lbs and both of em' can't identify the problem...

last resort this saturday send to ksh -.-"

yup... he told me different year different parts...

QUOTE(me0wSter @ Feb 18 2008, 10:31 PM)
There are measurements online and i think at the 2nd post of this thread.  Go check them out!

As for me, i'm 160mm and small built.  So a 'S' bike (16") is just right for me.
*
wow.. so many links but will check it out...
btw 160mm? U only 16 cm? whistling.gif laugh.gif

QUOTE(demio121 @ Feb 18 2008, 10:36 PM)
i am not sure what year my T-Bolt is manufactured.  Never thought about it also... not like car.  I got a white 1.

I don't think you can get at RM850 anymore cause after i sapu 5 bikes, the fella told me he is gonna sell higher now.

finally manage to takemy T out for a ride this morning in around Ara Damansara.  newbie to bike so dunno what to say, juz that itfelt good after so many years no biking.

really? em... then is ok...btw thanks for informing me... thumbup.gif

actually Proton get their frames from EPX which is the Terrashark...

whicih means the carbon main frame ain't made by proton...

just a simple import,put in some parts,rebadge,resell...

only diff would be the parts and the fact that proton replaced the rear carbon swingarm with their own alloy swingarm which looks fugly lol..
*
really? I thought really made from proton... sweat.gif
Thanks for the info...
