Our 1st Round Island Trip

Team AEG had our 1st Round Island trip !!

Too bad Dan Ooi can't join this round as he is still recovering from his fracture.

It was raining in the morning.. from 3am till around 8am.. Our initial plan was to push off at 7am but was delayed to 8:15am because of the rain.

Pushing off from Tesco Egate.

Me with the Giant NRS3 from Project NRS. It is fitted with 1.5" Slicks for the trip.

It was a successful trip. And we covered 80km on this route : EGate - Jetty - Gurney - Tg Bunga - Bt Ferringgi - Teluk Bahang - Balik Pulau - Genting - Teluk Kumbar - Bayan Lepas - Bayan Baru - EGate

The only problem we faced was me getting bitten by a stapler !

By the end of 2nd Day.. Project NRS completed.

Added the missing items:

- Shifter cables (learnt how to measure and cut cables to fit)

I am stuck as I can't get the Crankset taken out from the donor bike... (Which I later found out how to use the tool from the Bike toolbox I have..)

This is the Donor Bike... Don't be surprised.. A Kona Coilair Supreme... Looks familiar ? Yeah, it is Dan Ooi's bike.. assembled from the Frame imported from US... and now, I am hogging his parts.. hehehe
