I passed by a bike shop and learned that their store (VMP) is selling MTB alum T...er bikes for 19,600.  vs my carbon fiber which I got for P26K+     Exactly the same package except for the:   remote fork lock out,  and the  carbon fiber.  But it had Sugek cogs, Retrospect FD and RD, and crank.   How come the price difference for carbon is only P5K+

I wonder.

But the said bike brand is all over the place, it is available in many places - Tarlac, Cavite, Laguna, Rizal (Pasig City)

And in many categories:  road bike, alum MTB, alum road bike, carbon fiber road bike, titanium bikes. 

Is it the brand to watch?

The same time last 3 years ago, I got a Sava Carbon fiber for the same amount  3 x 9; but I eventually disposed off the same for being heavy and with so so groupset.  I guess the more desirable units are shod with XT, Shimano, and SRAM group sets

The more my SARS bike became valuable to me after the Regina Rica ride

I could have sold my SARS Ultegra laden bike last month in exchange for a mountain bike. However when the offer to buy was only P10t, I preferred to have to used to the ground,  I kept experimenting on what the gearing would be and improving it.

And so I used it in my latest ride to Sampaloc and Regina Rica and it did well, much better than a mountain bike. The ride was relaxed and I did not have to exert too much effort.  Kayang kaya.  The more I loved and appreciated the bikes value to me.  Mabuti di nabenta.

                                      The SARS  was ahead of an expensive MTB with latest tech
