Missing the off-road

Its been two years since I last pedal and rolled the outskirts of our village. Lacking budget to buy the necessary parts for my mountainbike I decided to get to blogging and hopely earn some cash to buy the three major parts: The Frame, the Fork and Wheelset. 

Since I'm currently in tight budget I will stick to a not so famous brands but by so far have been reliable on the trail with respect to my riding style.

The frame would be from Kinesis a 27.5 wheel size with a suspension travel of 150mm - 180mm, 

The fork? hmm the fork, if budget comes flowing like water in the river I would go for Fox 36, but if tight as a faucet, I'll head on to Suntour Durolux, if in-between a Rockshox Lyrik or Pike air solo will do.

For the wheelset, any known high-end brands with low end price will do. If I can find a good condition second hand Down hill rim, I will lace it with enduro spokes to an enduro hubs.

My First Full Suspension is going to say goodbye to welcome the new addition to the lineage of my mountainbiking time travel!

My Kinesis A636 the blue one will be replaced by Kinesis KSM636 the one below of course. :D .... currently saving lots of day dreaming and imagination to get that upgrade..... :)

Black Cat

At Last after months of saving for this frame, I finally have it in my garage. I am just waiting for the chain guide to put this frame into my usual trail ride. Can't wait to try my Black Cat Setup. ^^

Kinesis Dual Slallom

I went to the local bike shop this morning and found this new frame that my friend has been telling me for days, it was really awesome and quite lighter compared to my old Dual Slalom Mosso. This frame cost about US$200 at the local bike shop. Sigh... I have have to find budget for this one, this kind of frames are rare at our place.

This is KD 415




This one here is the the drop out of the KD 515, somehow the same with the KD 415 except the dual purpose drop outs and the Bottom bracket has a Integrated Chain Guide mounting tabs.
