U are asking for advice...
Wat do you want to know?
You did not provide any info in the bike
How are the "sifu" here gonna dish you any advice?

Read v1 and everything above in this thread before deciding. ..
*
ah
to read all v1 thread is kinda errr...u know...hehe... rclxub.gif
i tink if read v2 from start can get some ideas bout first folding bike
heee
n by the way
the suggestion on the reserved post bout whose bike is what bike is kinda good
i mean if pipel see then they can directly pm the owner the bike they r interested in
and ask everiting they wana ask
but then it cud be troublesome for samo (for example) to answer say...100s of de same question?...everyday?
ah...
dis is a bad idea sweat.gif
nevermind then tongue.gif

to buy what bike
well
they (or samo tongue.gif ) will ask u back dis question
"whats ur budget?"
as u might worry de bike is "sufficient" enuf or not
well
i beliv (samo will say tongue.gif ) "every bike is very sufficient; the question now are u "sufficient" enuf for de bike?"
or somting like dat tongue.gif hehe
those who folo samo u know lar (im a fan tongue.gif )
hehe
anyway
since u got ur eyes on raleigh (raleigh ugo rite?)
mr adriankhoo here got one (ah, how to tag his name? rclxub.gif )
n from his post in here (wic is got many nice photos thumbup.gif )
i do tink hes a happy rider of his ugo
n he do ride with his friends riding non foldies
mr adriankhoo wana say(poison) aniting to him perhaps?

hehe

cheers

if he didnt notice it
then cudnt help it
shud avoid too large rock
if want to go over it oso can
but have to jump a bit la front tire
if not direct impact is on the rims
tho de tire is helping to absorb some of the impact
but too muc of it n its on the rim sweat.gif
n cuz mostly us foldies the spokes is 20/24/28
so kenot kena too muc impact

Hi guys,

I am quite new to folding bike bicycle, and already do some survey for the price of folding bike.

More or less is the same as the list suggested here

LOUIS GARNEAU LGS Pop from 950-1050
Dr. Hon VYBE C7S from 950-980
Dahon ECO from 750-850
Raleigh UGO from 750-850

But, i have a confusion. In which I should go for this new bicycle which is suit for my budget, or i should wait for a nice deal of a used bicycle from doppelganger, dahon and etc?

Thanks a lot
*
if its ur first then better get a new one
used one have to inspect de condition whether its worth de price onot
later when u know foldies ady then can buy used one
so u know what to look n what u want n whether its worth de price
de first foldies is de first lessons to everyone tongue.gif

Wow,  I didn't know that Bukit Cahaya is this nice!

This is worth exploring as the roads are going to give you a lot of exercise!

http://www.cindysplanet.com/2012/08/cyclin...kit-cahaya.html
Really must explore if you have a foldable bike.

Just put in your car boot, park car in the Taman car park.  Take out bike and cycle.

Put on hat / helmet.  Bring lots of water.
Pack some nasi lemak / sandwiches and have a picnic in the park.
This is so enjoyable !

Advantage of cycling over walking or jogging is that you don't have to walk the miles and miles.  If the hill is too steep, no choice, just get down and push lor.    But you get to see more places in a shorter time...

One more thing is that if you jog, you will be putting a lot of up and down impact on your joints, especially the knees.  If you are overweight, like 90kg,  imagine how much force that will add up to on your joints, if you jog 1 km.  No wonder my knees have been giving me problems over the last few years!    While if you cycle, you are basically sitting down and just provide a circular motion with your legs...  no impact at all!  Just don't strain too hard when cycling. 
Isn't cycling cool or what?

gotta pass
bukit cahaya is just out of my reach range
