hi LYN folding cyclist/biker

I'm planning to get 1 for myself.
I'm more into the big frame type. Plan to use is offroad, but maybe onroad(normal road) once in a while as well.
I'm 185cm tall, 89KG, and targeting 20" folding bike at the momment.

I've visited Vans Urban Bicycle and Folding Bike Malaysia(Damansara Perdana) earlier today, and the result:

Vans Urban Bicycle:
- Unfortunately they dont have any MTB at the momment. So i just tried out the road bike that they have in stock:
- Montague Crosstown(retail around +- RM2.6k) & Montague Navigator(retail around +- RM3.8k)
- Love the simplicity.

Folding Bike Malaysia(Damansara Perdana)
- No MTB folding bike at all.


Then I called Singapore Montague outlet, DigiNEXX and they have Paratrooper Pro in stock, with retail price of +- SGD 1.5K:

- Bike details : http://www.montaguebikes.com/paratrooper-p...lding-bike.html

Anyone using this model at the momment?
Is it reliable on offroad mode?
The price is not much different than malaysia retail price after conversion.


Or do you have any other recommendations(for 20" folding bike) that i can go thru before deciding which brand to use?

Thanks guys, hopefully can join your group activity/ride soon!

Thanks mbax.
The CHANGE frame look better.
