done! my new Raleigh mountain bike mtb red color handlebar and stem

UPANBIKE MTB Mountain Bike Handlebar φ31.8mm Bicycle Handlebar 720mm/780mm Riser Bar for MTB, BMX, Road Bike, Mountain Bike

Hey guys,

Check it out!

My red color handlebar and stem finally arrived on Friday and although at first, I thought of fitting it on Saturday evening after work, I decided to straight away do it. The good thing is that I managed to do it a little quicker with less problem than when I do it the first time around.

I guess experience does matter. When I did replacement parts on my foldable mountain bike, I had many problems as it was my first time and most of it is guesswork. But, I managed to settle it in the end. I don't really mind as it was a cheap bike. I'm now thinking of selling it off.

I love my new Raleigh mountain bike. It's a budget bike but I love the design and it's definitely much lighter than my other mtb. I'm also not going crazy about replacing some of the parts as it's very much different or better. That's why at the moment, I just changed the handlebar and bike stem.

I chose red because I didn't want another colorful setup. Also, there's a little nice red art on the bike frame. I love the pro-Honsun design, and already know the quality of their product. Like the little dragon design on it. They're also pretty light.

Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You might like a different color or design. There are plenty of them. In any case, I'm still thinking if I want to change the bike pedal. I think the one on my Raleigh mountain bike is the cheap type.

Okay, just another excuse for me to change it. I'm also going for red. I'm still looking around as I like the one with a little different and cool design. There's no point for me to change anything if there's nothing cool about the new parts.

I like going for long distance right either with my mountain bike or road bike. I think now, I'll prefer my road bike as it seems I can ride faster and further with it. Though, I also like riding long distance on my mountain bike too. Simply because a mtb is more flexible.

When I was a kid, I didn't really enjoy cycling. I didn't really use it. My dad bought me a 2nd hand bike that was to me really ugly. I think it was made up of parts that someone just scrap from other old bikes. I hate the handlebar and it has two different size tires.

I end up leaving the ugly bike lock-up in a rental public housing building. I came back after a while wondering if it's still there but it was gone. My 2nd bike was a mountain bike and it was much prettier in pink. It was so pretty a girl asked me if she could test ride it.

I only needed it to and fro to a friend house for our TKD aka tae kwon do training. I think it was in the early 90s and like how I can easily climb grass slope with it. After I finished school, and stop visiting my friend that I stop cycling and end up just giving the bike away. 

Now, several decades later, I'm back to cycling and loving it!

stickers bomb my new java veloce road bike 😂

Hey guys,

Check it out!

So, I've only got my JAVA Veloce road bike for almost two weeks and already I've stickers bomb it. Can't help myself. I actually bought the stickers for my folding bike. Which I've owned since last year. Yes, it's kinda new too.

I recently got into cycling again after getting a folding bike for commuting to work. My new workplace is pretty near my home. It's a no-brainer to cycle to work instead of wasting my time waiting for the bus. I also saved some travel fares and get to exercise.

Well, one big reason is that I wanted to get rid of my big tummy and get back my six-packs. Got tired of everyone telling me I'm fat. I'm not fat, just my err..tummy is big. The problem is, my workplace is too near my house and it's not enough to get slim just by cycling.

I needed to control and watch what I eat. The good news is I've actually lost some weight. From 76kg to now 68kg. I'm having a problem going down to 67kg. If I can break that barrier, I might be able to get back to my 63-65kg old self.

It is kinda funny because I'm not young and reaching the big 50 soon. Even everyone is surprised and asks why only now that I become interested in cycling. Well, you're never too old to go cycling. In fact, I feel kinda happy whenever I ride my bike.

I love my mountain bike and love more my new Java Veloce road bike. Every time, I ride it, I wanna go as fast as I can. But, I take my time when I rode my mountain bike and become more adventurous. Like cycling on the grass or on dirt paths.

My colleague told me to get an e-bike. They're interesting but as I've said earlier, I wanted to exercise, and getting an e-bike will only make me lazier. One of my colleagues has one and he used it to work part-time as a Grab food delivery.

I won't mind getting an e-bike if I'm like him doing part-time. You get to places faster and with less energy. Of course, I can do it with my road bike too but I'm more into leisure than work. I love going on long rides to national parks enjoying nature and taking pictures with my Nikon P950.

I'm basically in half retirement mode. I cycle for fun and only work just to pay the basic utility bills. With my bikes, I can get some exercise and visit places that I've never been to. I didn't even know there were rivers I can cycle along and windy beaches where I can relax just by cycling.

Check out some of the stickers bombs on my Java Veloce road bike below:







Red Bull is one of my favorite energy drinks. Though, I try not to drink too much of them. One of the reasons I have their decal stickers. I also love Gatorade where they seem to make my nightly cramps disappear. By the way, I also put decal stickers on my thermal flask water bottle. 

I prefer a thermal flask water bottle because I want to keep my drinks cold or hot much longer. On longer rides, I'll also bring my cycling 2L water bladder bag as my main drink. If you like bike packing that bladder bag will be useful to carry more water.

Anyway, get your decal stickers here if you're interested to put them on your bike.
