treknology at tanglin place, u can find really really old bikes selling at really really high price.

Haha. That's because it's in an Elite district mah.

The condominiums and houses around that area all cost at least a few million dollars each.

So must price the bikes according to the purchasing power of potential customers there. :D:D

Thanks for the input. It is my most expensive buy for a bike so far :D

Don't have the mentality that bicycle shall not be worth spending a few hundred dollars. U will immediately fee the different using a less than $150 vs a few hundred/thousand dollars bicycle.

I use bicycle to commute around Singapore. So far has help me save 2 thousand dollars of public transport fee. Not to mention midnite taxi fee and the time I save using bicycle compare to taking bus. If I add up this , will easily chunk up another $1k. I spend $10 on easi link card every month only. :D
