Yes it is. It was recommended by Frankie according to my friend. Better specced than the P8.

I see. must be a new model then. been to the shop last week but didnt notice this model. lets hear other opinions. maybe other have owned and test this model.

hi everyone, new foldie member here, wish to join some of the activities with you guys

Why are you comparing a 16 speeder with an 8 speed bike? Unfair comparison and even worse, the lower spec-ed bike seems expensive for that price. I can comment on the quality of the frame but the Cronus does look attractive but looks is not the most important here. Seriously for that price I rather go for the Dahon Boardwalk ( also 8 speed) and much much cheaper, the old spec-ed Dahon Speed P8 ( I think better spec-ed than the Cronus) or add another RM400 and go staright for the latest. The Dahon Vigor P9 which is 9 speed. Further adding, if you like the shape of the Cronus, might as well go to Kimbell Jaya and go for the real Dahon MU P8 (the old model leftover). At RM1800 after discount, it has better rims, better seat post, better tyres, better handle post, better and proven vise grip joint than the Cronus. Also frame is given 3 years warranty for the Dahon. That's off course is my opinion. But compared what you asked, between the Cronus and Java, go for the Java. At least it is 16 speed!

PS/ it says high speed But why it is shodded with such a wide tire??

Thanks etigge...

I didnt personally see the bike, just merely asking on my friend's behalf. I think the spec I copy and pasted is inaccurate, it was actually 16 speed and came with hidraulic disk brakes.

look properly at the pics la... haiyo..
can see the double chain ring...

Hooray, i've bought it!


however after a short ride, suddenly i feel like i would run out of gears very fast on a flat road cruise or a downward slope. But for now, it should suffice.

By the way i kinda hate the plastic foldable pedal. No doubt it is good when folding the bike for storage/transport but the pedal felt flimsy and wobbly. Anyone has extra, unused and unitilised metal pedal willing to donate?

Donate! You have a peculiar choice of words. I doubt Andrew needs charity! hahaha.

Yun, that shop in the background is ThaiSun which is in Thailand, I think. Incidently Thailand has more choices of mini velo and foldie parts and components. even Singapore too because we Malaysian are slow to catch on. Majority here still prefers mountain bikes.

Yupp that foto is in Thailand. The second pic is the actual bike at Frankie's shop

@etigge, what is your take on the Java Fit components?
