QUOTE(andrewhtf @ Jan 6 2014, 01:36 PM) Yes bang. lama dah tak dengar khabar. your username is something i have not seen for quite some time. How are you lately? I go motorbiking, my wife go cycling. now she bising want me to start cycling because of my increasing wasitline, which think i shud do something about it too. hence a small bicycle to get some sweat flowing. Thought I recognize the name. Alhamdulillah I am as healthy as I can be considering I've had two bypasses....and a stroke. Still ride the Aprilia once in a blue moon. What was the name of our bikers group?.... This post has been edited by Klpegaso: Jan 6 2014, 01:54 PM

QUOTE(andrewhtf @ Jan 6 2014, 10:32 AM) thanks for input. another one to survey. **update 06/01/14 1.20pm** etiggejust checked dahon bikes... priced out of my intended budget... which is about RM800 and below. Raleigh ugo were priced at RM750. Since u mentioned KHS, i saw this : http://www.bicyclebuysell.com/item/225168/...hs-folding-bikeWhat do you think? If the KHS is still available, it's a good buy. But the price was not RM1699. When I went to check for folding bikes (first time) Folding Bikes was my first place to check and the price was RM1100 and not RM1699 but if it is RM800, it's a worthy purchase. KHS is nice to tide too except that it's a bit errr......... classic. It's also chromoly, that's why it rides well.

Yes I cycle now i.e. 5 to 6 kms on daily basis in Taman Melawati. I currently own an XDS AFB320 and a Dr. Hon Boardwalk D8. FYI bought the D8 last Thursday, strongly recommend it.

I still go for the Raleigh Ugo. My suspicion, if a bike gives good components and the price is still low, there must be a drawback somewhere!  The Trinx 16 speed is shodded with 451 (22inch ) wheels, Shimano Claris 2 X 8 speed gearing and the price can be had for just RM850. I see many riders buys that after persusasion from shops and see them in rides and gradually dissappear. Something must have stopped them riding! PS/ If you meet the right group and understanding group of riders and become regular, I am very sure you will move up. This post has been edited by etigge: Jan 8 2014, 10:53 PM

My heart still on motorcycle.  ur wife cycle with her frens? i suggest that you borrow her frens' bikes. diff brand n model etc. to have a ride. to get a feel of it... bike with small wheels feels different.. 90kg on a folding bike feels diff than 60kg on a folding bike.... mebe u get so used to twisting the throttle... on two wheels... having the need to crank that leg muscle up the hill ... may be too 'potong stim...
