My beloved bike: DEAN
Monday, 920pm at Blk 824 Coffee Shop 'A Star", I had officially lost my first unlocked bike while having a meal!
Was about to leave the table, still saw my bike alone at the lamp post. Had this interesting topic which kept me seated for another ten minutes or less. TEN MINUTES!
DEAN had been the most wonderful bike i had so far. More mileage compared to my newly bought 'CUBE' bike. Been through the most harsh wet weather than my Cannondale had ever seen. Left its tyre marking along most parks and chalets unlike my Identiti. Truly the MVB of my bicycles. The bike which i dont need to zhng to make it look good or to meet my riding needs.
Somemore i just washed it 2 weeks before! Wiping the rims and waxed the frame to give it a shine. Maybe the shine on the bike was the stealing trigger point. Too bling~ haha!
For those who lives in Tampines and happen to see it, pls contact me..
For the person who stole my bike, may you be part of the tar on the road soon!
Bike Theft Victim: Lock your bikes!

My first 'Brand New' bike, almost everything brand new except the bottle cages and saddle. Many have questions about the long head tube.
The geometry is
Seat Tube: 44cm (CTC), 48cm (CTT)
Seat Tube Angle: 72 deg
Can reduce the steepness of the top tube, however will end up stacking another 5cm of spacer for the handlebar to be lifted up till that height.
