If kasali sa choices GT avalanche 3.0, KHS alite 150, 300,500, GT agressoer, Trek 4300.

Yung Khs alite models pala same lang ba frame nyan pero pinagkaiba lang parts?

Im not maselan sa brakes and disk. Ang important lang sa akin matibay frame and fork. Sa choices ko ang alam ko cheapest jan yung alite 150 and aggressor. If those two matibay na pwede na yun but if mas matibay yung avalanche 3.0 or trek 4300 yun ang bilhin ko.

Paano nyo nalalaman kung ano matibay na fork?

actually lahat naman ng fork matibay, same as frames bihira lang makasira ng fork unless you do freeride stuff-drops or jumps. ang habol mo sa fork is performance-how plush it is, etc etc

300 dollars with freight from US

price is ok for the components, same with boybi tho havent heard of the frame

Bike Town has a bike fitting equipment. They're along Pasong Tamo in Makati.

um i wouldnt suggest BTC, i had my bike fit there and medyo di believable yung fit na recommended sakin. according to their bike fit, my road bike frame and TT bike frame should be the same size. pero sa lahat ng nabasa ko sa net, TT frame size should be smaller than your regular road bike size. at least i did get my actual measurements like height, thigh length, arm length etc...

i would suggest going with Toot Chua's fit at lifecycle greenhills, by schedule to, baka mas accurate doon

+1 kailangan kasi tamang fit size para sa iyo para maging comfortable at ride mo lalo na pag long distance ride . Hindi masakit sa katawan .

miles, speed unlimited salamat ulit sa advice.

Type ko yung trek kaso walang 4series na available sa life cycle. Yung 3series kasi hindi pa hydroformed.

Ito gt avalanche 3.0 maganda lagi feedback nababasa ko.

So ang advice nyo pareha lang matitibay mga yan, ang basis ko na lang pag bibili kung ano ang madali makabili ng parts. Ano brand madami dito sa pinas?

You can mix and match parts and components from different brands naman. So don't worry about availability of parts.

*miles, BTC lang kasi alam kong may bike fitting. Didn't know meron pala sa lifecycle. Actually, I had a very horrible experience with BTC. I brought my I9 wheelset and a friend's Mavic to their shop to be serviced. Nasira lang pareho. Yung I9 ko, lalong gumaspang yung ikot. Tapos yung Mavic, hindi yata nila alam kung pano ibalik mga parts, nag improvise ba naman ng washer, nag gupit ng lata ng softdrinks at ginawang washer! Found out about it only after I got back home in Tarlac. Kaya pala they were insisting na iwan ko muna yung Mavic sa kanila para maghanap daw sila ng parts, kasi daw yung ibang bearing di daw nila pinalitan.

yes pero go with your initial choice nalang mahirap din kasi in the end magsisi ka, go with your choice of frame kasi masmadali magpalit ng groupset dahil pwede onti onti. if i were to chose between trek or gt, ill go with trek. btw suggest you really try visiting kings sa quiapo, malay mo medyo malaki din difference or give them a call first 7340052 kung may available na trek dun

no offense to BTC but their wrenches suck! haha! anyway one of the best wrenches ive tried are in cartimar either velo or ross, and also si mang kards sa cogeo. they are resourceful pero di basta basta lang and if they cant do it they will tell you. mahirap sa ibang wrenches di nila sasabihin na di nila nagawa then you ride it and have an accident.

anyway BTC is the official distributor of i9 pero di pa nila nagawa? hm buti nalang i went with chris king hehe
