The Launch of Eastern Grim Reaper In Singapore

Improved version of Eastern Grim Reaper II had finally been released. And I manage to get one piece for the time being. Alot of riders have been enquiring on this frame, and currently it is the lightest of all (Not comparing it with the titanium version) The weight of the frame is only 1.87 kg. The other advantage of the frame is shorter chainstay which is only 13.63". The frame now come with free plastic insert that you may put into your steering tube or bottom bracket, incase sand get into the frame.

Bio:

Headtube angle : 74.5 degree
Seattube angle : 71 degree

This frame come with free integrated headset, plastic insert and titanium bolt. Okies, let the picture do the talking now:





Not forgetting the budget frame from eastern again. "The dragon". It have been proven that this frame is suitable for all type of riding. For a better understanding of this frame, there is a previous article inside my blog. Just read through it, and you will be wanting to get one also. Hereby is some of the pictures of the frame.




Crank!!!!!!!!!
Most riders, still trust 3 pieces crank in all types of riding. But, they are always looking for the strongest crank and afforable crank to suit their budget.

Currently, I have Flybikes 2.5 crank and Stolen Team Lite Crank with Titanium spindle. Dun be surprize, these crank have super good review. The advantage of this crank is that they are RHD and LHD compatiable comparing to Odyssey Wombolt crank.

Always the Latest Product


Some of my views (FAQ) from Local Bikers.


  1. Most of the cyclist nowadays like to view products from oversea website. To gain additional knowledge on products n stuffs.
  2. They usually will like to get the latest product range.
  3. Always thinking, why in singapore, there isn't much Local Bikeshop that bring in the latest product that they wanted.
  4. Lack of money to buy good parts
  • It is not wrong to gain additional knowledge on cycling stuffs, as long as it does not affect your study or work. In general, most of the people which i had met, which include students and working adults. They will always like to discuss on which parts they wanted to use, such that they can modify their rig. Or the lightest frame.
  • My point of views on the latest product. Honestly, most of the local biker will usually prefer to go for their local bike shop. But, when they view from the website and cannot find the latest product range. They will complain here and there, why your bikeshop does not have the product that i wanted!!!
  • Budget? As each individual, whether students or working adults, we also have our own budget. For student, most of the time, they will prefer to work part-time when they are having their school holidays. So, they can save and buy much better parts. For working adults, depending on married personnel or single. Usually, will prefer more budget parts, due to work commitment. Furthermore, we can't afford so much time to be spend on our hobby.

Conclusion: Spend within our own budget and exchange parts with your good frienz if you really need the items.

Show time again, as for 2007. I am willing to look for new products again.
