But a thick lock should be good right? How much do you think it will cost normally for a thick lock?
if u buying a cheap bike, just get a normal lock can liao... just to prevent casual thief and passer by from taking the bike and ride away.

Recommend you check out Cannodale on Frankel Ave, near Siglap. I remember they occasional bring in budget range Cannodale mountain bikes. Always sold out within a week. Look for Daniel and tell him "the other ipod slut"(dun ask) sent you. May be slightly more expensive, but you would appreciate the difference in the bikes.
For me, I am sticking with my 13 year old trak. Darn hard-wearing mountain bike! Not sure if they make them like this anymore.

Any idea how much I am looking at for the budget Cannondales?
A relatively good pair of disc brake alone without a bike cost you about 4-5 of the kind of bike you buy. If you are not into self servicing, they are a pain to maintain and align the brake calipers that sits just millimetres away from the disc. So the float is crucial. Now imagine your cheap bike with brake disc? You looking for nightmare you do not want on your bike after using it for a while.
Now if they break, your bike is as good as gone because to replace those brake discs will cost you alot more then your entire bike. And this cheap brake discs...I doubt you can find spare parts for them. There is also the matter of the brake oil that works the hydraulic to pump the oil that will activate the caliper clamping down on the disc to stop the bike. So you want that kind of hassle? Not going to impress anyone with brake discs. Those who know bikes myself..one look we know if that are good or not good. So don't care about the Bling Bling factor...unless you are buying the real deal. That is just my advice.
Go with a bike that use the normal U brakes. They are easy to maintain, powerful braking power, tough and easy to fix and clean if something go wrong. And it is also lighter compare to those cheap brake disc.
Also note...with a bike that has brake disc...USUALLY...fixture that let you change from brake disc system to normal U brake system might be missing some mounting points. If that is the case for sure you will have no way to change over to the cheaper U brake when it comes time to change over to save you some cash.

I cycle around the Pierce Area, in case anyone wants to join me, very light casual stuff, no long range cycles.
Good to learn that there is a possibility for a photographers' cycling activities
to be organised in the near future.

The soul and the cycling itch...
the soul is always thriving on
remembering that two wheels
is better than four. Feed it with fond
memories and it will come alive.
Don't keep that bike at home.
Forward
I don't cycle very far, but if people are keen for a short cycle around the Peirce area, some pratas over CNY, some photo shoots of non XMM material, then sure...
Best to start our own new thread though
Cheers
