SEPEDA MERDEKA. The Freedom Bike [Bikes]

Well, its actually been days after completion. Tried it out on the Bridges Ride, and felt smooth as fuck..

Very minimal clearance on the ITM forks since a 28c tire is bein used. Actually, when i do trackstands on it, the tyre tend to be touching on the fork walls, so its quite tricky at times.

Sugino Crankset along with Toshi Straps. And to top it off, Vertex chain.

In conclusion, so far this is the best road bike Ive ever been on. The Makino felt alot more tight and solid hence being a track frame. The Puch frame IS relatively heavier than the recent frames but the frame feels absolutely resilient. With thick tyres, brooks saddle, comfy Toshi straps, and a Cinelli Sesamo stem with home country inspired colours, altogether make this a very enjoyful and comfortable which is ridden with pride. NICE.
