Keong, Chai and myself (and later joined by Ma SY) attended a seminar by Shimano on their 2008 products on 30 Sept 07 at Boulevard Hotel, Midvalley. Shimano staffs from Singapore was at hand to explain the changes of components ranging from Mountain bike XTR to Road bike. I was not that keen on road bike stuffs so I won't dwell much on it.

Can you spot something ood about the bike (not the 2 handsome guys behind it)? There's no suspension fork on this suposedly mountain bike. It comes with rigid carbon fork for onroad riding and it complements the bike which is also made from carbon fiber. A marriage like that means almost effortless riding on a light bike.
New XTR rear derailleur now has more bling to it with what else but carbon parts.
Nice woven like carbon fiber patterns
Rims galore.
Going back to school. I didn't expect to sit for so many hours to listen to technical aspects on how a particular part worked. A bicycle is not just a bicycle especially the ones with gears. Kursus Mengenal Bahagian XTR Secara Teknikal Siri 1/2007
A closer look at the rear derailleur.
Next day activity was visits to a few bike shops around Klang valley. Seen here is Mr. Ben Tan of KSH Bicycle showing us the latest Merida road bike that is super light, only 6.8kg. We later went to KSH Cycles and then to BikePro to check out my future possible bikes of Titus RacerX and Santa Cruz Blur XC (KSH) and Scott Spark (BikePro). Santa Cruz looks good for long term ownership as it is made from aluminum but Scott Spark has all the cosmetics on the carbon frame which is mighty applealing to the eye.
