Bicycle Shopping
I went to do bike shopping with a pal who had tips on good deals around Singapore. First we visited ULU cycles at Keat Hong Shopping centre, he is a local dealer for Ironhorse bikes.
The Specialized FSR XC comp
Iron Horse MKIII
Some specs will include:
ANTHEM 1
FRAME: GIANT AluxX SL 3.5" travel w/ Advanced MAESTRO Suspension System
SPEED: 27 SPEED
F/R DERAILLEUR: SHIMANO XTR FD-M960/ XTR RD-M960
F SUSPENSION: ROCK SHOX REBA SL w/ LOCK
R SUSPENSION: GIANT MAESTRO-A
Unfortunately $3000 is a pretty steep price to pay for a bicycle and I am still considering whether I should settle for a cheaper bicycle.
My personal ideal bicycle if I were to mod one myself would be a
Frame: SCOTT Ransom ($3000)
Front shocks: ROCK SHOX REBA or BoXxeR ($800)
Rear shocks: ROCK SHOX 4.0 ($740)
Rims: Mavic rims or Maxxis tyres ($400)
Brakes, F/R derailleur: SHIMANO XTR FD-M960/ XTR RD-M960 ($600)
COOL! But unfortunately, insufficient funds.
