2009 Merida Matts TFS Trail 500-D, HKD5400, HongKong/China.Oil Satin Glimmer (sort of Dark Army Green), Alu frame, Dart forks, Deore/XT kit, Hayes Stroker Disc. Wellgo B66 Magnesium platform pedals.Getting into Mtb again after a few years dry spell in China. Bought in HK (model I wanted not available on Mainland) and shall transport it to Shenzhen. Initially didn't want to ride in China as 1: dunno how long I would work there; 2) Not many trails around Shenzhen; 3) Dangerous traffic; 4)Dangerous Crime; 5) Dangerous Theft. 6) Did I mention it was dangerous (kiasi Singaporean)?Now been here 4 years, driving here anyway, discovered nearby potential trails, found some local kaki, so recently got bit by the bike bug and it's time to start riding again! It's winter now (Jan 2009) but who cares.Other bikes:1994 Marin Rocky Ridge, SGD1,500, Singapore.1999 GT Tempest Hardtail, AUD900, Australia.2009 Gt Avalanche, SGD 800, Singapore2009 Giant Trance, RMB 11,500, China2011 On-One Inbred, GBP 600, China
