Windsor oxford deluxe review6/10/2023 ![]() OTOH, typically that crowd are the loudest advice-givers in the community, and imo push beginners to make more expensive investment into cycling (albeit prematurely imo).įrom a slick deal perspective, nothing beats used bikes from Craigslist/OfferUp/FB Marketplace. TBH, if you feel the need to have the latest gearset or plan on wearing spandex when biking, this probably isn't the bike for you. On a related note, compared to some of the more expensive models, outside of any out-of-the-box issues that need immediate replacements, all of your adjustments will be done manually or at your local bike shop. Also, the bike is 90% put together so you have to do the remaining 10%. ![]() IMO, the 'catch' is that they don't do any marketing and have a crappy website. And the parts on these bikes are often inferior, especially the ones you may not notice right away, like hubs, BBs, headsets, seatposts, stems, etc. Motobecane is another in-house brand that BikesDirect sells, and just like Windsor, the frames are made in the same factories as the big brands, just sold under different labels.īut just because a frame may be made in the same factory, doesn't mean it is the same quality. I'd also seriously consider moving up to the Motobecane Super Mirage S and get disc brakes. The Wellington 3.0 does have integrated shifters, and I think the convenience and improved stability/control of the integrated brakes/shifters is absolutely worth the extra money. When I had bikes with shifters on the stem, didn't like having to take my hands off the hoods or drops to change gears. I probably wouldn't recommend the Wellington 2.0 because it doesn't have integrated shifters/brakes. As of 2016, you can find the definition of the word in the Oxford English Dictionary.BikesDirect is legit, and I have two different Windsor bikes from them that I have ridden for years, including the Windsor Tourist I currently ride. P.S.S.S Shiok is a common word Singaporeans use to express admiration or approval. ![]() P.S.S If you haven’t already, do follow my social media channels on Facebook here, and on Instagram here! ![]() P.S Do check out the new “Discounts!” page for exclusive discounts for Wah so Shiok readers! More brands will be added very soon – stay tuned! Here’s a pro tip: keep a lookout for Traveloka’s Weekend Flash Sales which occurs every Friday to Sunday for the lowest prices! However, this post is not sponsored – I paid my own dime to book and review my staycations. Just for my readers, you guys can use the promo code “WAHTVLKSRV” (if you’re using SRV) and “WAHTVLK” (non-SRV) for 10% off any hotels bookings (up to $30 off, with a minimum spending of $100) for new users and $5 off any hotels bookings (with a minimum spending of $50) for existing users. The codes are valid till the end of 2022. Traveloka constantly has some sort of ongoing promotions, with prices so ridiculously low that I’ve personally booked about 90% of my staycations on Traveloka. Those interested in booking a stay can do so on the Traveloka app. There also used to be a water dispenser, though it’s currently closed due to COVID-19 measures. I think it’s a hidden gem in Geylang – it’s much better than the Hotel 81 down the street, despite costing just a smidgeon more. Aside from that, I’m honestly amazed at the quality of the hotel’s Deluxe King room and would definitely return. In fact, my only complaint is the name of the hotel, which is a mouthful to say and hard to remember. However, if you’re simply looking for a clean, comfortable and well-equipped room that doesn’t break the bank, five/6 Hotel Splendour is hard to beat. The main downside of the hotel is its lack of facilities – there’s no pool or gym. Every aspect of the room punches above its price point, from the Serta mattress to the 4K 49-inch curved Samsung TV (with a full-motion wall mount, soundbar and wireless subwoofer), to the plentiful room amenities and the elegant bathroom. I genuinely believe five/6 Hotel Splendour offers one of the best rooms – if not the best – under $100. Conclusion – so five/6 Hotel Splendour “shiok” or not? Nevertheless, the showerhead was enjoyable to use, with strong water pressure and a variety of jet spray options available. The only slight disappointment is the lack of a rain shower, which would have been thematically congruent with the floral inspiration of the bathroom.
