aux! Posts: 5,258 Group: Administrator Member #1 Joined: 15 October 2006	i'll kick start. My current bike is a Giant Rincon 2004, used to own several cheapo urata bikes. cheapo light-weight MTB I do a little of offroads but mainly long distance biking around Singapore during the wee hours last time. Didn't choose a roadie because it was too fragile for a rough rider like me. now i hardly touches my bike, maybe once a while when my friends ask me out for supper.

Dismember Posts: 520 Group: Members Member #179 Joined: 14 November 2006	I've got a Trek 4500 hardtail, brilliant red fade to gold paintwork which is the only good bit about it. Got it way back in 1999 I think. Drivetrain is a mixed bag of Deore brake/shifter combo, LX brakes, XT drivetrain, 27 speed. Got into this hobby when I was in secondary, so upgraded the parts when I could afford it. Other then a creak here and then, its still running strong. Needs some lighter rims though...

That is, falling over your handlebars. Think I saw that in some MTB mag dictionary or sth. Maybe the local terms have another meaning...

A strida will probably collapse under him. Hahaha... though that may change once he's out of NS. Hey, get well soon man! Calling team TREK! Doesn't anyone own a Trek anymore? Ah, what the hell, mine's probably half rusted already anyway.

Posts: 49 Group: Members Member #587 Joined: 22 February 2007	Hey bike lovers, I just wanna ask where to get bikes in Singapore? I'm not local so I'm having a bit of problems finding them. Also, what kind of bikes is best suited for both normal riding and trail riding (moderate, not steep or bumpy kind, just need some suspension)? It'll be greatly appreciated if I could get some help. Thanks

Thanks The following are the listing of bike shop in Singapore. http://www.togoparts.com/bikeshops/list_shops.php Usually I go to Hup Leong and Rodalink which I find their services reliable and friendly. A hard-tail MTB should be comfortable enough for the kind of riding that you intend to do. There are various makes and models that will suit your budget needs.
