QUOTE(etigge @ Jan 27 2014, 11:46 PM) I am looking at Performer from Taiwan. Sold only in Penang. Probably will look at other velos also. Maybe a Barnnard. I already have an Ultegra groupset and will fix it on the velo and the Shimano 24 speed Altus groupset will be taken out. Anyone interested in a 24 speed components. I can mod it on the foldie Very nice bike. Would you mind to share with us how much you get for it?![]() |

QUOTE(etigge @ Jan 27 2014, 11:55 PM) Should be around RM1800 for the lowest spec 24 speed and flat bar. But there are many other velos there, so might get something else. Who knows? It is not foldable though. Much more cheaper than folding bike. For same spec on folding we need to pay very much higher price. Maybe I will get one later, only when my budget is allowable. One folding for mobility one mini velo for multipurpose. This post has been edited by kcwo: Jan 28 2014, 08:50 AM |

QUOTE(etigge @ Feb 1 2014, 03:02 PM) ![]() I got the bike back from Penang already. Meet myak9 too. The bike is still not ready as it will be transformed into a 2 X 10 speed Ultegra groupset. The original 3 X 8 speed will be taken out. Anyone wants to upgrade their foldie to24 speed? I can mod it from the parts taken out from the velo. |

QUOTE(hwachai @ Feb 5 2014, 05:04 PM) Hi, I m new on folding bike, bought 2 foldies last month, myself and my GF. At the moment we only ride it outside my office area after work, which quite short distance. Now they are having some contruction work, so I can't do it there anymore. Actually Bukit Jalil don't allow biking as I saw the sign board there. But they still have some ppl riding bicycle. For your area, you can check the facebook : foldies & me . I joined one time Kesas highway on Thursday night ride before CNY.We plan to do it other places, but have no clue at all where is the good place or suitable place in KL area..... Since we are only 2 person, I hope not much traffic and safer. Park? Residence area? Or any forum which I can get more information? Really appreciate if anyone can give me some suggestion. My house is near kuchai lama, is bukit jalil park allow for us to ride inside? Thanks. |

QUOTE(etigge @ Feb 9 2014, 10:32 PM) Actually I prefer both me and wife to have the same kind of bike. I am riding a Speed with 406 x 1.75 tires while she is riding a velo with 451 x 1.0 tires. She's faster when going uphill but I am faster going downhill. She's running 53/39T with 11/28T at the rear while I was running 53/42/39T and 11/34T at the rear. Lots of difference. Oic, so which mini velo your going? In KL not so popular right? Mini velo should perform much more better except it cannot fold only. It can handle rough road well without worry about the folding joint. Since I ride a Dahon Speed (27 speed) and she has a Boardwalk (also 27 speed). Now that she have a mini velo, I though I too should ride one of the same specs. So, the Vigor is going. |
