SE Racing...the logo
And the story begin...
The box
from??
Actually the package arrived last week Tuesday at Syawal's...The frame bought from U.S bike shop through internet...the price?? not more than RM 1k....but I didn't have time to pick it up since I hav to prepared for Sabah trip on Thursday...so I leave it there temporarily...while leaving it there Syawal done some wrapping to the frame...thanks bro...When I'm at Sabah...Syawal do send me MMS pictures of it...about some minor scratch during shipment...and mention to me about the things that need to be concerned is the head tube size is 1.5...not like others normal frame which is 1 1/8...
X4 Flyer got bigger head tube
Returned from Sabah on Sunday afternoon...I checked my work schedule the was a free time on Tuesday the next week...so I informed Syawal...he said OK since he's on night shift on that week...I called Mr. Megan...Samy's LBS...asking about 1.5 headset reducer...He said he got it...so I planned my journey for Tuesday...
Samy's LBS
On Tuesday...Wake up as usual...8.50a.m I drove my car to Samy's bike shop...reached there around 10a.m...I called Syawal...which already there at the parking area across the road...He walked to me with the precious frame...there u go...It's already in my possession...nice indeed...the new weapon...if it could be fired...I'll used it to sniped head shot Israel's army one by one...
Snipping the Israel's army
Unload my bike...asking Mr.Megan about the headset...n what the heck!! he said he doesn't have it...I said I called him already...he said no...not him...damned...now I don't have a headset...really pissed off a bit with Samy's...wasting my fuel and toll also my time....-_-"
Syawal try to helped me by calling his fren asking about the 1.5 headset...which is can't be find...His fren asked to go to Bike Pro LBS at KJ...so I have 2 choices now...go there or go to Ah Chun at Tat Seng Kota Kemuning...if at Tat Seng it will be the Da Bomb 1.5 Reducer Head set which will be around RM240...I don't have the budget for that...so I decided to go to Bike Pro instead...thanks Syawal for his helped...many thanks bro...
Bike Pro LBS
Reached in front of Bike Pro around 11.15a.m...still closed...so waited at the parking lot behind the shop...calling them minutes after minutes...until 11.30a.m then someone pickup it...Mr. Boon make some jokes when I'm asking "kedai bukak ke tak today?"...he said "Ini Hantu ka orang jawab...kalau orang...bukak la..." heheheh...so I tell his I'll come...

There...I asked about the 1.5 headset...they got it two type...FSA and Chris King...the Chris King original is too pricey...RM600+...the other is FSA The PIG one point five...Errrrk!!! why the name got piggy -_-"...RM190 nego got RM160...so I said OK take that one...then asking about swapping the frame which he charged RM80...to go other LBS have to think about fuel and toll...nak tak nak buat je la...I actually can do the swapping thingy by myself but the problem is no tools...that's all...
The swapping process begin
Mr Wong working...
FiuhhH!!! luckily got it...but then another problem occurred...the FSA cup too long for the head tube...the solution...used back the Cane Creek cup...and again luckily all the bearing fitted well...the swapping process complete around 1.45p.m...but then "pening sekejap"...how to put the bike on the rear rack since the frame shaped already changed...It took 10 minutes for me to configured the best way to do...to make sure it's secured safe n won't fall...and then I when back to Cyber...
FSA too long...
Cane Creek cup
So the story end...by doing this I sacrifice the name...now I can't claimed "Basikal Putih" or the white bicycle name anymore...since the new SE Racing X4 Flyer frame is silver in color...so from White Shark to Silver Surfer...let me think 1st what's suitable name for it later...but I can't changed the blog address link...hurm....so by doing this maybe I'm the only one in Malaysia riding this rare frame...my precious...>:)

Today, I went to the beach front with my children.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to
her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her
ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
