am planning get biking backpack, carry sling bag around very pekcek, haha, anytips on where to get? or what to get?

You may want to look at Camelbak brand. Their mule or hawg series not bad. Most importantly got water bag, whch is important for outdoor cycling. Qweensway or beach road (army market). But dun expect to be cheap. $< $200

how big's the mule / hawg?

i googled them up and they didnt really give dimensions..
just that the fact hawg is big enough to shove work clothes in(which would be a huge plus cos i do cycle to work at times)

and also.. must really go all the way to queensway shopping centre? or do LBS sell them?

Smaller than your back for sure. They are designed to be small and not get in the way. Won't be able to shove your work clothes in for sure.

What's smbf?

Been googling and surfing to not much help, like alot of choices, may upgrade my budget to $500+.

Any suggestions guys? Giant Boulder?

 

[Andy0601a]

I think I'm pretty much decided on Raleigh M20(2005).

Any idea where I can get it? I'm staying around choa chu kang, hoping to find a shop around my area to get it so I won't have to worry so much about transportation and stuff.

Suggestion and Opinions greatly appreciated.

do NPPs provide "engraving" for bikes?

 

[proddy]

i'm looking for bicycle locks as well. i know it only serves as a deterance.
i went to hardware shops, they cost $15-$20 for the chains but they look fugly and all the same brands "orawa" or something. The Ulocks also around the same price range.
i just need to lock the bike to run quick errands or go for a pee.

the entrance doesnt say that there is a bike trail inside. its directly opposite sunset park. i can bring u there if u want. we can meet somewhere at tampines mall or interchange.

bag wise.. go beach road army market can get liao la. those small and can put hydration pack ones. cheap and good.

if you have extra cash and wanna get better ones, can try camelbak, northface or deuter ones. just visit their distributor sites in sg and you will know where to buy them. there is also a newly opened northface shop in Suntec City which you may wanna take a look.

anyway here's my mule. got it to use for overseas biking trip too. i put a shoe box beside so that you ar gah know the size of the bag. hope it helps.
