The bike you currently cycling, what bike is that plus ur frens one, his rims look familar, I asked b4 i guess but it weighs.Originally posted by markzz:anyway, is that any roadbike costing less den 1 k? I saw a Fiji Road bike at Kimseg.. $938.. with brakes on the dropbars and the top of the handlebars
Talking abt expensive bike, like i said my friend, just looking at his bike I SHAKE HEAD.
Santa Cruz Blur 4X
Full Shimano XTR M960 hollowtechII except rear dee M952
Syntace stem
Easton flatbar & seat post (i think its EC 70 & 90)
Kenda tyres
Fox TALAS RLC
Rox RC3 rear shox
Fizik saddle (not sure which model)
Cane Creek Solos headset
Cance Creek grips
Full bike assembled at TEF, can you imagine how HAPPY leonard was. Plus now mine is there. Bike shop needs such customers
Who ask the stupid TAY cycle so hao lian, how to survive like this. -
You asking about the uncles shop at Joo Chiat ar? its SONG SENG CHAN, near to junction where KATONG MALL is, i think bus 16 goes thru, not very sure.Originally posted by sinicker:is it the one near East Shore Hosp? where service 15 plies?

Im stripping my bike now & replacing the M535 with dt swiss w sapim laser spokes, how much you think I can sell the m535 for?Originally posted by seow:4 year old, but in very good condition before i took over.
Bought it @ 1.5k
Its a specialized M4 s-works, not a bad deal, free shimano m535 wheels too.
Initially came a mix of lx and xtr components (the cranks and shifter were lx), but a few months ago i got the XT hollowtech II crankset from a kaki and 2002 xtr shifters from another.
Thinking of selling the wheels? Anyone want the wheels for $100 (neg). -
My friend and I both use Progear Rock a3! Not sure of his specs la..all mix mix one! He uses Element Xero Wheelset! I use Alex Wheelset, not sure the model. we might go weight our bikes 1 day at treknology Tanglin!Originally posted by de_middle:The bike you currently cycling, what bike is that plus ur frens one, his rims look familar, I asked b4 i guess but it weighs.

But I have the gut feeling the deore calliper will suck, gotta buy the lx when TEF has the stock again, the review for the LX callipers rocks man.

This part the components broken lor....Originally posted by seow:?
As I cycle, it'll have the irritating creaking sounds and my pedal stokes feel more restricted and have to overcome much more friction den before. GHC tell me not to go replace the "suspension" inside since I'm going to buy a VooDoo frame anyway! -

anyway, which Air Fork do u all suggest for XC riding? Rock Shox Reba? Rock Shox Judi World cup? Or Fox Vanilla?

How much u wanna spend? I got the reba race 2006, coz value for money.Originally posted by markzz:anyway, which Air Fork do u all suggest for XC riding? Rock Shox Reba? Rock Shox Judi World cup? Or Fox Vanilla?
But if ur weight concern get the sid team/race, 1.3kg but never bring for off road. Road/urban riding is perfect. 80mm travel e motion control (pop lock) is good enough. Dunno if there's lock out, if there is its better like fox. But if u have a $1000 to spend try to hunt down the rock shox SID TI, its the lightest at 1.2kg.
Fox will add alot of weight at least 1.75kg & reba is 1.6kg.
Just came back from changi point, gears are jumping & my stupid headset & seatpost is creaking.
Cant wait for next week send it in for the final touch, decided to get thomson elite seatpost over easton ec70, durability with some extra weight.
the damn disc screamed when its wet coz just now east coast rained, u know of any better brakepad, thinking of changing once this wears out. -
Wah u wanna blind other cyclist ar? Never like powder coated frames prefer anodised.Originally posted by sinicker:okay, just washed it. shall wax tmr.
Matt finish adds class & won't die out. -
no use liao. 2day cycled in the rain.

I prefer Fox Fork! Its heavier, but its damping is really good! Absorbs shocks well and wun bob so much! Hmm... Have u heard of a bike brand called Xtension? It's Downhill bikes are wonderful!Originally posted by de_middle:How much u wanna spend? I got the reba race 2006, coz value for money.
