[LiempoBoi]

I vote for MERIDA and MONGOOSE na hardtail frame.

Ito Idea kung magkano yung mga "mura" na mtb, nabili ko charles jerry ko for 15k. Kung ikukumpara ko performance ng merida ko sa charles jerry, malayo silang dalawa. Mas maganda yung merida.

Para sa akin, hindi ko kukunin. Parehas spec lang yan sa charles jerry ko. Masama experience ko sa shifters na yan. Or tumawad ka tapos yung sukli, upgrade mo naang parts.

Charles Jerry or SGM MTB nasa 6,500 lang ang presyo mas mahal pang frame ng Merida tapos generic parts pa.

actually frame has little effect on ride feel. most hardtail frames will not be discernible provided they have the same fork, group or wheelset. baka masmaganda fork or wheels nung merida. even 5psi tire pressure difference will give day and night feel.

Alam ko atleast shimano alivio yung groupset na kasama dapat sa ganyan naprice range pero base sa picture, hindi siya groupset. Parang mixed waang brand pati shimano.

Deore gamit ko sa merida. Nakalimutan ko size ng wheels at fork.

I beg to differ bro. Frame geometry, frame size and frame material has lots of effect on the quality of ride.
Wheelbase is affected by frame size and geometry. Bikes with short wheelbase are known to be more agile but less comfy.
That is the reason some MTBs and road bikes costs more than $10K. But as with most things, your bike is as good as your weakest link.

i agree with you. but fork, wheels and group have a bigger affect, and assuming the poster's reply which i quoted, he was choosing two frames both below or around Php10k and no description of what fork or groupset used. so the difference he might have felt might not be from the frame but bec of different setup

+1 on fork, wheels and drivetrain.

Anyone rides with rigid fork, single speed and hard tail? Most of my riding buddies graduated from full/front suspension setup to SS and rigid fork. Unfortunately, I'm not that talented to ride that kind of setup.

[taraki17a]

Ganito gusto ko. 26er po ba yan? Kaya ba sa 20k yan sir?

Peace out!

the 2013 GT Avalanche 3.0 is around 18k pesos

Sharing some pics. Still riding on the road and building up stamina. Hoping to bike every morning before work now that my RoadID came in..





We also have KHS 26.

I find that most bikes I see are over-engineered for the trails/roads they're used on. Bibili ng mga long travel AM/Enduro bike tapos Timberland or La Mesa lang naman ang rides. Or worse, ikot ikot lang sa UP or MoA.

Yung iba parang pang status symbol lang. They get the most expensive bike that they can afford but rarely do they get to make the most out of their bikes. But they do seem to have a lot of fb posts about their rides.

I guess it's the same deal with people buying SUV's to look rich/pogi.

That is a very ignorant thing to say that.
What others do with their own money is none of your business.
Also, are you saying that just because people don't go to technical trails that they should buy a crappy bike too?
Or what if they go to different trails every time they ride? Is it required to buy a crappy bike to ride in a crappy trail and buy a nice bike for a very technical trail?

With regards to your comment about people buying SUVs - again, that's a stereotypical and very ignorant comment.
People I know who owns SUVs are people who have growing kids and they have upgrown their family van and sometimes a wagon or a sedan is not even practical to use. But regardless, why do you judge people and why do you care what people spend their money on?
No offense but people who earn their own money have all the right to spend on whatever they wish to buy or acquire.
Whatever their purpose is, it's their decision and I don't think they need other people's approval to do what they want to do.

Lastly, I have yet to meet a human being who is in the right mind and is buying a car (or any item) to look ugly.

Huh? Minivans have more comfortable seating space compared to SUVs.
