Hi all..I'm riding everyday to work ... My bike is a GT OCR 2 .. with Continential GP tires, Ultergra pedals .. staying around town area, cycling nightly to ECP - Changi and back .. But my speed is quite slow o .. Averaging 28km/h...

28km/h slow meh? Don't compare yrself of mtb rider to road racer. Road racer bike can easily chunk up 40-50km/h...

I was also contemplating between the Santa Cruz Blur, Stumpy FSR and the Racer X.
I tried the Stumpy FSR, felt very nice but somehow steering feels a bit retard(Feels like driving a big car that kind of feeling). And I heard that the brain shock is a B1tch to setup. For the Racer X, although top tube is long, surprisingly it feels alot more responsive and agile. And of cause the racerX is lighter. I do alot of road riding (I can only afford 1 bike). When Propedal is on, it feels like a hardtail, even when cranking up a climb, very minimum pedal bob can be felt.
I haven had the chance to bring my bike offroad yet, so can't really comment much.

heard the SC blur always got creaking sound coming out of the rear shock pivot brushing.so thats why i filter that bike off my mind.i was offered a motolite frame for 1k,2006 model.comes with rp23 shock.but back then i wasnt really prepared to own such a luxurious expensive bike.till now,i have finally decided to try stumpy.

but what i worried most is the warranty issue.if got sth wrong,will the fella really do it for me,since sg only got 1 distributor for spesh.unlike usa,where they can call up spesh immediately if LBS bitch with the....hha
