The return again into bikes

Well as per last mention the Identii bike was sold due to wedding. Once moved into my own nest I started to look into a new bike. A dream bike that I been wanting. It is the down hill..... that is after 4 years of marriage life and I decided for a return. reason I am growing side way and plump.
and I need some sort of exercise.

 

However in 2008, I have to get myself to sell this bike away as I will need to clear space and also fund for my wedding. Therefore, the first ever self design and build MTB was sold to a nice gentleman from Togoparts.

Then to next upgrade on crank

After wish I notice for free ride using a bmx crankset is much much of benefit as it is stiff and it is almost bomb proof. That is what bmx is. 

Also this is the first time I got stuff online.

Manage to secure spider for my bash guard and machine it to fit into the profile crank I bought.

     

The upgrading to a bike with research of what I want!

It has also motivated me into learning curve to understand and get to know more on bikes parts and self build and repair which I used to do during my BMX time.
Although I do not have budget to get into a new bike, but I was doing research and sourcing on the next bike I would be having.
Under my study, as I love dirt, jumps and trail including moving around on my bike, I found I should be belong to a freeride as it is a all rounder bike for whatever I want.
Therefore my research open up to Santa Cruz, Specialized, Titus, Kona, Moongoose, Intense and many more but found Identii..... Something Special.

 

    

As a newbie to mountain bike, so I learn from the hard way....

As per title I was very new to mountain bike and got learn it by the hard way. Was thinking of getting a xc bike so that I can travel faster and same time training. But got con on bike size and end up with a super huge bike. However I continue to ride till got budget then go into next stage. That was in year 2005 at that time.....     

The reborn of my cycling

As per mention that I have lost the power on cycling due to my leg injuries. However the image and how much joy remains in me. Therefore I took a step under my first carreer first overseas trip which I bought a mountain bike.

Had it rode over in Taiwan Year 2000 and bring it back to Singapore.  The start of it is super hard as I had stopped cycling far too long

 

However, I met with an accident that causes me unable to walk properly for almost 8 months follow by therapies for recovery. it took long enough before I am able to walk on my own and same time to train my legs back. however I notice my legs had lost more than 60% power I used to have. I cannot run or do other sports of the ownself I have. This Remains in me for some time.......

How i started cycling?

I had started cycling since very young age around 12year old. 1989? during that time I am still in the primary school but had hit on road cycling with BMX with classmates and some other friends who are in the same interest.
Below are some old photos of where cycling hobby had come into my life.
