Just prepare a pail of warm water with mama lemon soap and give your bike a good wash , then dry it with a towel. Do not use pressure spray. Should get rid of the dust . After that, lubricate your chain and drive train. And you are set.

Under advice from EDMW folks, it seems like the Jamis SX Ranger falls within my budget and is a better bet compared to the Hasa.

Thoughts?

Why not top up a bit and get a better bike at a close out sale at Hup Leong?

means old model clearance. Dunno still got or not. Clearance usually quite fast but no harm taking a look. He He will send to your house also.

can but if u can degrease it will be good cause if long time never use, chances are your grease are black black liao. Use kerosene and a brush, becareful not to let the kerosene hit your disc brakes if u are using disc brakes. Otherwise , it is fine.

Just wash the whole bike and dry it up with towel.

If don't have kerosene, petrol or diesel would do just as fine.

You can try Simple Green available in home fix. very effective, can degrease drivetrain to a certain extent. But more expensive than mama lemon and petrol combo.
