She has a java fit. I am fine with small bikes mainly i dont plan on riding fast and yes the main purpose is to get me sweating and exercising, so even if the bike is heavy and i had to ride harder than a 26" mtb or 29" roadie, so be it.. Plus as added benefit when i get slimmer and reduce my body weight, the power to weight ratio on the bike improves too

if u feel ok with the java fit.. then shud be ok la with others...
some heavy rider will feel that some 'cheaper' bike is not solid enuf..
there is a difference when the rider is heavy... esp foldie, where there are joints on frame n post...
long seat post doesn't help.. ..
brake oso tak makan when down slope...
when cranking force is high, cheaper component oso takut nanti break....
but when ur main purpose is to exercise,.. then all those 'feel' are kinda pointless...
just ride man.. the more difficult the bike rides.. the more u will loose weight... just don't cancel it with extra food...
when food is the sole purpose of/motivation of cycling... then susah to loose weight liddat...
