Hi... Been reading this forum for quite awhile. Just like to start a thread fer those riders in Malaysia. Cycling is relatively new over here. Its been there quite awhile actually but not in a big way. These days I am seeing more bikes on the road. those who cannot afford a roadie ride their MTB fitted with skinny tires. Due to relatively hi cost of road bike, it may become a trend to run MTB on tarmac. Cost is still prohibitive for some to own a decent bike.... we really need a bigger market to enable prices to come down to a bearable level. It is just a matter of market size.
