One problem is that i got a vey tight budget. So it would be impossible for me to get a 1st hand.
So i decided To get myself a 2nd hand bike instead. Of course its still a GT Bike.
I went through this web site : http://www.togoparts.com/
After a few months looking through the site before i got my GST, finally, i found someone willing to let go his bike at S$300. Looking at the picture, it may look old but its still workable. Infact whats important for me is the frame. Its Super solid. GT is one of the best manufacturer in making bike frames. Other parts, i plan of changing slowly to a better parts. Perhaps i can try to find some intresting deal and export the parts here. Even so, it will take time.
Here's the picture of the bike. ( ^_^ )
Okok.. You guys may be wondering why i bought this bike instead of buying something else which is useful or finish up my Bike Prac. Well my reason is:
* Cycle To Work On My 1st & 2nd Night Shift.
* Good Work Out And Exercises
* Save Trandsport Money $$$
* Its Relexing and Fun
Lastly, Saving Earth. Wohoo.. Power lah Lu Ayy.. haha..
WTH!! hehe...
Well So Far, i tried on the :
2nd & 3rd July 2010
So far so good.. but my Butt hurts. I need to change the seat soon.
Pay day is coming up.. So Ya.. hehe.. Another Spending.. Well thats all for now people. Toodles ..
