In Topic: Full Suspension Frameset?

Finally brought this thing over from the US. I definitely spent more than 10K baht. But the woman at Cherry Bike nearly fainted when I told her that I paid only 18K for the frame, while she has one (albeit newer) hanging on the wall for 89K. "Don't tell anyone--tell them you paid 70K!"

I carried the whole bike as luggage and had no problem at customs at CNX.

In Topic: For The Mountain Bikers !

2012-05-16 16:51:39

the entry-level treks have strong, relatively light aluminum frames that provide a good platform for gradual upgrades. they are designed for an upright riding position which is ok for touring on the road, but not great for xc or all-mountain downhill. a recent issue of "what mountain bike" discusses this in a review. standover is quite tall as well. on my 4300, which is a slightly older frame design, i've been able to compensate with an adjustable stem and lots of fiddling with saddle position. bottom line: it's a good bike and great value at 10K baht, but as a tall hardtail, not ideal for chiangmai singletrack.
