What do you recommend to someone who wants to try out being a roadie? Thanks

hello slowleg, glad to see you. I'm also new in this sport, still learning from pros around here. Come back, I'm sure some pro will gladly help u

i suggest you go to a bike shop and see the selection they have. then you can ask questions and see the product immediately. i think you can get an entry level road bike with an aluminium frame, shimano 105 groupset and light wheels for RM3000. go to Le Run (Bangsar) Bike Pro, KSH or Joo Ngan.

hihi slowlegs....ok question is are u slowlegs short legs or slowlegs long legs ...cos if you are at least 5' 4.5" than i may be able to help . I have a bike all set up u cud borrow to ride and see if you like road riding on road bike. everything on the bike is new except the frame ...so give me a shout if you are interested.

or else you cud get in touch with a PCC guy or gal and they normally have a 'bike to try out' program for newbies...

Thanks for the offer, dreambiker. I'm about 5' 6". So that would just fit the bike. I will give you a shout when I am able to turn up at the next PCC ride?

I've actually been riding MTB. Have always been interested to check out the tribe of the shaven legs

Based on research, the mags suggest Giant OCR3 or Trek 1000 for entry level. Went to Boon Foo and saw nice looking Scott Speedsters (Adrian, this is alu frame with 105 groupset). I've never seen a review for the Speedster. Anyone in the PCC riding one who can share any views on the bike?

tribe of the shaven leg????

hi slowlegs..perfecto mundo ....tell me when you wanna test the bike....either tues nite club rockin session or this sunday PCC is going to Bt.14 and Sg. Tekala....and i prob. be there for both ...

btw...i don't need to shave my legs cos they are natural like rob thomas's song......a little bit of moisturizer and they are silky smooth ..

Sunday is probably ok. I will confirm with you again if I'm able to go. Thanks!

Yes, Sherrina, road cycling is a club where men really look after their smooth legs

ahhhh ic..if I see man with fine smooth legs, I'll know that they are roadies

either that or 'abaaaannggg



bad boy dreambiker

Dreambiker, I was actually looking forward to tomorrow but now I'm coming down with something. Next time I try out your bike? (Or depending on my patience, I might just turn up with a new bike at the next ride ) Thanks!

dreambiker, are you riding this sunday?

send me email at dreambiker@hotmail.com

hey ppl , me and my fren are interested in road cycling but we are still students therefore i would like to ask, is there any bike in the range of 1k? if not, how bout 2nd hand?

Hi It is a good idea to go for a well maintained second hand and at that price I think you should be able to find something. Go to these bike shops and ask. There are many people upgrading their bikes all the time so chances are there could be some suitable ones for you.
