My new Raleigh Echo

After using my old trusty but heavy steel-framed 26-inch Trinx M066, I decided to upgrade to a newer and higher performance bike as I was joining the cycling community in Kampar for longer and more demanding rides.

At the suggestion of a friend, I bought a new 27.5 inch Raleigh Echo with lots of high end specs, except perhaps the brake system which was somewhat "ordinary" compared to other bikes.

Here are a couple of photos of my old and new bikes
