Yo, Amyl, glad you butted in. You've cycled there -- give us the lowdown! How did you go about it? What were/are your technical specs? Life on the road? And all that.

(Have you ever started a thread of your own on your experiences? Could be really useful. Instead of some of the above my-bike-is-bigger-than-yours stuff anyway. Who cares really.)

"my-bike-is-bigger-than-yours" ; hihi, thats what your selective mind picked out of the thread:-)

Yea Macha, that sounds like a good push for me to start getting into writing about it but seems it's not important for now on this thread.

Looks like someone has been thrown out of our 'frame'.

But I have to agree that the Indian makes are indeed quite heavy but they are not 'crap' at all. I used a Hero Hawk on my short but multi-day cycling tours in India and absolutely had no problem with it on the road...highways, smalls ones, rough ones, slopes. They are quite reliable for a normal stretch cycling plan. But seems like there are some better and lighter available in India now.
