Timberland now requires you leave an ID if you want to enter their territory.

May mga rumored fatality sa the Wall.

yep, kailangan na ID since the residents need total confidence kung sino talaga pumapasok sa subdivision.

Dami fatalities pababa ng the wall, buti nalang mga naka helmet.

tagal na di nagpaparamdam si iskul....

hehe viewing mode or basa mode lang ako lagi , kasi recently puro bike rack/carrier ang topics,pero enjoy din naman kahit basa mode lang.

lapit na dn mabuo bike ko tantsa ko mga between 4-5k na lang gagastusin ko hehe , and i decided na din na mag palit from 8-speed to 9-speed para wala na ako maging problem in the future...

patanong naman...anong cheap and good na head post (yun pede sa suntour XCR).... na overtightened ko yung cheapo ko na head post (tig P280) e bali yung isang tenga..

ayoko na nung ganun...kaso baka naman yung tig P900 or more magiging ganun din..

near finish na yung non-high-end ko na bike -

Body - Taiwan na "Attack Racing" ang tatak - around P3500
Centro ng para sa plato - P450
Fork - Taiwan Suntour XCR - P2800
Headset - P280
Gulong - pair of Maxxis 26x2.35 - P480* (with interior)
Rims - hand-me-down na probably 10y.o. na metal rims japan made (tapos pina powder coat ko) - cost about P200-300* (prep and powder coating)
Spokes - aluminum na mumurahin
Hubs/Centro - pang BMX anodized aluminum (plan to replace it kung hindi magagawan ng paraan yung rear na i-centro because of the 8 speed gear) - P200*
Converted to quick release yung hubs - P150*
Plato, plastic pedals and shifters are shimano (not all are original) - I think it was around P1500-2000 ang inabot.
Brake (wala pang front) - cheap immitation disk brake - between P500-800 (got it from davao)...mahina ang pagpreno baka palitan ko ng matino.
Seat and aluminum seat post - oridinary bike seat with good foam - inabot lang ng P300 yun.
Handlebar - cheapo aluminum - P150-200 (forgot the actual price)

Total is roughly about P12K na...nearly two years to build and still counting...hehehe

All labor ng assembly are free kasi ako nagbubuo (except tire balancing ng rayos).

[wildthing]

[boybi]

wildthing, stem tawag dun

Try mo maghanap ng low end na FSA or Turbolite stems. Meron less than 1K nyan.
