Hey bros, i've a BMX, which has rusted and lost its old shine. any ideas where i can refurbish my bike?

If you're looking for a fresh coat of paint and some visual make-over, do contact Sulaiman from The Rebound Center. Heard he's good and I've seen many who can attest to that.

Well, I guess it can't be helped though if you want some nice quality paint-job.

I do know of some people who can do probably just as well and for a cheaper price but you got to contact the painter through T3 at Serangoon North though...

Hi all,

Need some advice.

I am currently looking into purchasing a hardtail MTB with a 1k - 1.5k budget.
Bike will be utilized for long distance cyling/pathways/road.

I visited Hup Leong, LnT and Rodalink. Was pretty spoilt for choices.

I was recommended:

1. Jamis
2. GT
3. KTM
5. Polygon
6. Marin
7. D.I.Y

Any advice or recommendation on what to get?

boss how much u bought it?
not intending for accessories? =3
i just bought the exact same model this week =3

MTB noob here. Just got my new ride today. Ordered the red/white combo but was told by the LBS uncle that the new shipment only has all-white and all-black combos. Googled but couldn't find any references to the new colours... but ordered the white anyway. Experts pls advise if this is authentic...

Anyway, the "new" version turned out nicer than expected! Many of the stock components are upgraded/changed in this new version too. Spot the upgraded parts:

Thanks for the response.

Any idea on the MRP for this? SGD1.4++?

Any other recommendation guys?

What about Giant? *random thoughts, still a noob with the brands and stuff*

yes its possible with 2nd hand parts.


BRAND NEW XT full group is minimum 1k. crank 300+ brakes 300+ ( excluding shifter, rear-dee, fron-dee,wheelset)... xtc frame about 600+? rockshox maybe tora ? another 400+. things like handle bar, headset, stem, tire,tube,chain, build up cost and workmenship.. i just build up my bike last few months so, i can roughly recall what to look out for.
