The "Everyday" show-off thread !

Nope, the roads here require an all-terrain bike. so it will be a mixture of both tarmac and.....

Just casual cycling, so doesn't really matter. Moreover, my budget was ~4K. :p

It was this, or the Ultima DX / AXN DX 6SP.
 
No intention of crapping your buy, but just felt like reiterating what Appo was saying..

Simply put, a cheap full suspension bike is going to be wasting money on the wrong components.
 
Got my Clip+ via KMD. :eek:hyeah:

Sorry for the bad quality picture.

Relax, you guys. :p

Are you telling me, people all over the country are buying bikes starting upwards of 7K, for day-to-day, basic usage?

In fact, most geared bikes in this price range have a rear suspension and *knobby* tyres. The slightly heavier Ultima DX 6SP seems to be the most popular option.

I understand what you are trying to convey and where you are going with this, but not everyone is ready to spend a fortune on a bi-cycle, atleast not here nor for the intended purposes.

What's done is done, not like the shopkeeper is going to take it back!? :)
 
^You must be having some guts to ride the cycle in Chennai (you are in chennai right ?) :p unless you are planning to riding it early morning. Anyways congrats :D

As for my update, bought the MSI X340 a week back. A little more than a netbook minus battery life :p

Err...why so? The streets are close to empty after 10AM and the sunlight (which I never get enough of) / heat isn't too bad.

Thanks though.

Nice to see people switching over to human powered vehicles :p

seriously though TTM, rear shocks + knobby tires on tarmac is a strict no no, imho the hercules 110S @ 7k would have been a better buy?

Indeed. :eek:hyeah:
It meets all my requirements with ease, although I had to shell out 8.3K for it. :)

Also noticed a significant difference, compared to the hurricane.

Special thanks to the folks at bikeszone.com
