Ive just bought a foldie today from Siew Leong in Dengkil. Its a budget model by Nakxus. Im okay with it except for the handle grips and especially the saddle.

Can you recommend me a good comfortable saddle? Thanks

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

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  biggrin.gif  But why it is shodded with such a wide tire??  rclxub.gif

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. smile.gif

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 smile.gif

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