Some points to consider:

1. Short suspension travel.

2. Doesn't fold well and compact.

3. Cheapass components.

4. Fewer than 10 owners in Malaysia.

5. Tuned by Master Modifier Fei Lee.

I see, thanks will consider that

Well, basically im going to use it mainly as a transportation method going back and forth my class and rent house,

other than that just a casually ride around my place

if you mean by heavyweight as my weight, im damn thin weight around 57KG but 178cm tall XD

EDIT: I just dont get what the use of quick release wheels btw
search around google, it has something to do with the folding speed?

featherweight good for bicycles... Manny Pacquiao

since u wana cycle to class..
if u can bring into lecture hall n put at the back will be good.
so u need to have one that is as compact as possible...

Quick release wheels explain it all in words. If I were to rephrase it will be quickly release your wheels for storage, dismantle etc hence quick release.
Yup, Vybe C7 doest have QR on their wheel but how many of u seriously use it?

when ur tayar pancit....
wana spana that nut n sweat it out...?

it is now a standard feature on almost all cheapass bikes....
skewers are selling dirt cheap in china...
whats the reason for dr hon to not include it...
how many millions $$$ he can save....?

more like underweight to me

yeah, getting the bike with me into the class, that what Im thinking of actually if its possible :

I see, never had any folding bike so didn't know which part is it. Is it for front wheel or both back and front?

found this one over FB for RM780.

well, I used to bike from age of 8. moving from bmx -> mtb -> bmx then quit cycling and goes for inline skates at the age of 18 to test for a new hobby.

now suddenly interested to test out folding bike, who knows i might stuck at it for quite a long time

Hahaha, nice comment Sam. Actually I am asking my daughter who is going to Hong Kong next month to see if it is available there. You know me lah, I choose my own components and I assemble the bikes myself. If everything fails, I guess it's back to Tern Link D8, hahaha.

Got an offer of used XDS AFB 160 20" for RM750.

should I take it

Wow, if you don't want, then can post the shop name and contact here ah?

Already contact the seller, asking him to deliver it to me. If he can than it will be mine in a week. If he cant deliver it ill post out the link here

hoping i could get them tho

Planning to get from the Mudah guy. First timer on folder.

Recommendant? Anything to worry?

Thanks.

No problem whatsoever. Just that to spend another few hundred bucks to travel up there to buy don't make sense to me. The seller is in Penang. The bike according to the seller is quite new. The other factor is my present bike which is a 20 inch wheeler with all the upgrades. If I take that, I can't really transfer components especially the wheelset. SO I gave it up. Then when I SMSed the seller that I am not interested anymore, she said a buyer has come and took it away already. Probably she just reacting. You can give her a call though.

Hi H2D, there have 3 bike shop around Sri Petaling, Pedal Sport, Green Bike and Express Pro. Anybody have experience with through shops? I just want to have some idea which shop is more honest?
I read through some comment here, it more recommend Dahon or Tern. Both entry level should be slight more than 1k, right?
