fuel's around 50-60k range, if you're looking for a hardtail go for a giant xtc around 14k lang ata or a shawn xc frame yung pearl white around 8k lang, both of them are superlight around 3lbs lang ata yung frame, for full susp naman id look for a jamis dakar xlt 2.0 or 3.0 nasa 30k lang yung frame, ganda pa ng review nun

hey guys!

ok ba ang Jamis bikes? yun full suspension? I'm looking at the Dakar XC. It'll be my first full suspension bike. its the most affordable one I have seen. other brands are very expensive.

this is the one I'm referring to, I saw it at sabak in sta rosa. more or less 40k.

thanks

Jamis is a good bike but the Dakar XC model is too heavy (33 lbs.) Just add 5 thousand and you will get Giant Anthem S or 10k for the Giant Anthem 3.

hi isuzoom,

what shop and where did you see those bikes?

thanks!

jamis is a good brand but Isuzoom is right, better opt for the anthem, the 5k increase is really worth it. sayang my bro was selling his giant white nrs frame for only 17k, should've posted it at the buying and selling

anyway he got the khs xc604, went back to 223's and changed most of his components to xt

kwento lang...my gf and i went biking to pinugay last weekend, i lent her my mtb and i used the road since im training for a triathlon race. on our way back bigla siyang tumigil paahon and i had no time to unclip my shoes since dikit na dikit aku sa kanya hehe i ended up lying on the middle of the road masmahirap pala tanggalin yung road clips keysa mtb

after more than a year without riding my mountain bike, napasabak ako kanina when a couple of friends invited me to join their trek. it was around 28kms. grabe, ang sakit ng pwet ko. i didn't wear a cycling shorts, hand gloves, and i didn't have a water container for my bike. akala ko kasi iikot lang kami sa loob ng cemetery, which was our meeting place, kaya malaking water jug ang dala ko

the trail is a mix of sand, grass, clay, pavement and a lot of uphill and downhill parts. sakit talaga ng pwet ko and my palm. hirap ng walang cycling shorts and hand gloves. buti nalang nagdala ako ng helmet.

after more than a year na nakatago yung bike, kinalawang na yung 4 smaller sprockets and the chain. although, ok pa naman sya. kaya pa kayang tanggalin yung rust?

saan yang lubigan? the route we took was from eternal memorial - villa betina - don pepe - luisita (stop over at starbuck para sosi

) - then we crossed to the other side of macarthur highway following the irrigation, then beside the tarlac river - northern hills - back to eternal. the trek took us 3hrs because of me. lagi akong naiiwan
