Did he give you any discount? I can honestly say that their listed price is kinda much higher than others.

Got discount off retail price. Compared to market price is reasonable or cheap. Most importantly his shop opens on Saturday morning which suits me n is along the way from hougang to MBS.

First, make sure that you can bring the bike up into the office.

Second, yes, new parts and labor might not make it worthwhile. A new bike (mtb, foldie, or hybrid) might be worthwhile. But, if I were you, take the newest bike you have, tune it, clean it, see how well it works for you.

The whole compound is owned by same company I am working under. And the so called tenants are sister companies of the company I am working under. They didn't say anything about bringing the bike into office as well.

i am currently using a raeligh mv8 to commute to work, which is around 400 sgd.

I just use a u lock to lock it at workplace downstairs.

I would be upgrading it further in the near future to make it easier and faster to ride (new wheels,new tires and new crankset)

on the other hand, I do have a spare 650c wheelset (26" road bike wheels) lying around somewhere, if you think that you wanna go with thinner tires, just drop me a pm and we can discuss more about it. take note that the spare tube and tires are almost impossible to be found in Singapore so you might need to keep some spares which you need to buy online (mainly tires and tubes) you choose to go down this option

I am actually intending to get a Giant Anyroad, Merida Cyclocross 500 or Polygon Helios C4. Really leaning towards Merida Cyclocross 500.

Actually, it is been a while since I rode. But one of the main reasons I avoided riding was heavy bicycle. It was dreadful to carry it out and into the house. It took quite a lot of effort to cycle to speed as well.
