Merida Matt TFS 500D

After selling my old MTB (Rockbike) I cannot sleep well enough.. Pepatah Melayu ada berkata "Makan tak lalu tidur tak lena, mandi tak basah".....

So when I heard that SooBeng Bicycle Shop located at Pekan Cina Alor Setar have 1 used MERIDA for sell yesterday.. I went there.. Luckily the MTB in good condition (but few minor scratches)..

So I make a confirmation with SooBeng to buy this MERIDA TFS 500D (16").
I am soo lucky enough because previous owner have change few good part especially on the CRANK (Shimano XT)

Aluminum in peak condition
TFS is a mechanical forming system for the aluminium tubes used by our MATTS*-TFS frames. The main tubes have similarly complex external shapes as the HFS frames and are extremely stiff.
The only difference between the HFS and TFS frames is that the design of the tubes’ wall thickness is simpler.

Matts TFS frames don’t just have the race proven geometry and shape of the main tubes of their more expensive brothers, but also a couple of high- end details, like 3 dimensional forged dropouts, profiled chain stays and the super stiff Egg-shape head-tube.
