Commencal? to be or not to be

Since i tried Aidi's hard tail GT arrow head climbing the Steroid Hill, i felt very comfortable and the pressure is not that bad compare with my full susp bike. Actually i been craving for a hard tail bike long ago. Now, i been thinking may be it is the right time to change bike since i did more XC trail than downhill. There a lot of frame wondering in my mind, Specialized stumpjumper, Kona cinder cone, Santa cruz chameleon, Norco scrambler, Merida Matt Sub, and etc. What i need is cheap and reliable frame. It is more cheaper to but a frame and transfer the bits, rather than buy a complete bike. If not, i will end up two bike here in there house and where can i stag it? But recently, i found that after browsing and research,i felt i love with commencal frame. It it like love in first sight! and when i research it deeper, the particular frame that i really want to hold on to is the Commencal Flame Superteam 08 frame. The geometry and weight is just perfect for me.

Last week, i spend my whole offday hopped in and out the bikeshops and surprisingly i found the frame i looking for. At Bike pro, Kelana Jaya, i hold the commencal flame vip superteam frame with joy, but sadly i found out the frame size is 15.5inch, which i used to 17inch frame. How depressed i am that time. The shop assistant said they can't order it cos of it was a old frame and that was to clear the old stock. There was also the supernormal vip frame 07 which size 17, but it is not catch my eyes. I any one want to sell his Commencal Flame Superteam 08 frame, i will happy to purchase it.

Limar helmet 520

After some research, within my budget, Limar helmet 520 is my choice. I purchased it at R.S Samy, Selayang of RM115.00. Initially the price tag was RM160 but after some bargaining, i got the lower price. After a few rides with it, it was very satisfying, light weight and the front hood really help. It had large 3 air vent in front for extra cooling. The locking was superb and the locking detent was smooth.

Carbon Fiber handpump by Beto

When ever i had i punctured tyre, i will realize that i need to buy a hand pump. it been keep going on until past a year now. So, eventually i really had a flat tyre during my last section in single trail at FRIM. Thank god, Aze was there with me, he is like the Mr. ER. he was prepared and had almost everything in his bag. But on the same time, after replacing the tube, his hand pump not working. At the end i had to push all the way to the car park about 2 km away. So. on the way home, i stopped by at Samy's and look for the hand pump. And i found this little lightweight carbon fiber hand pump. It was Beto brand but with Hits sticker to cover it up. Look awesome with my rig.
