GL, thot the ride was fun, especially with the good weather the planned route brought us to countless slopes which individually are ok, but putting everything together is WOW...

60T soon?
Lol!

It's nice meeting all of you and wow didn't expect all your pace were so super fast. Thanks everyone for waiting especially Kelvin and Nick for following behind. My legs sored when I reached home this morning so really need alot of training to keep in pace with you guys.

Btw initially I thought of getting another aleoca foldable bike for my kids and myself but after seeing all your nice rides today tempted me to get something better for longer investment. I am looking at below 500 and anyone have any idea of this downtube foldable bike and is it worth the price ?

Hi Waterman, think is better to go try out a few bike before u decide. Have a feel of each model. U need to like e bike before u commit. Come to our leisure ride n try out our ride. Our group have many models and brands.

Yup he's right. better to go bikeshop try cos each bike has their own "feel". Aleoca is not worth the investment really. I think Wklau knows this better than anyone lol

downtube nova costs below S$500 but have never try it before to give comments
they have also full suspension model below S$700..
but as mentioned by fellow riders.. best to try out to consider (of cos budget also must)
u can always try out during our rides or at any bike shops (testing is free)

You young man shd have no problem. Just need ride more often. If I can do it you can do better the next time.
Today we had only a few riders and they already have these iron butts and iron legs for a long time.
If you didnt give up, I might have you for company for the last part. I was left far behind & fear of riding solo on the fast moving vehicles along mandai road drove me to ride the pcn.... hahaha...

Waterman, nice to meet you tho we only had a short chat. sorry, didnt talk to you much because I was trying to use today's ride to find my endurance.

"foldable bike for my kids and myself but after seeing all your nice rides today tempted me to get something better for longer investm..."

Hahaha, wait till you join the sunday rides.. Be warned you will be poisoned.

Man, you helped me to understand the difference between 52T & 60T.
