Hiya I'm new here, and very new to folding bikes (but tres excited to hopefully, be part of the foldie community!)
Been doing lots of research here and endlessly surfing bicyclebuysell for good deals on the bike.
I almost had my mind set on buying the Kalaq Q5 (rm750) or Q6 (RM9xx) based on it's awesome looks (looks a lot
like a Dahon Mu but obviously it's not lol).

After more reading and reading, I thought what the heck, might as splurge more and get something reputable and
reliable with the hope I won't ever have to upgrade (or at least, not in the near future anyway ..hehe)

Went to Vans Urban PJ branch today and bought a Tern Link P8 on a whim. They're having some promotion until 28 Sept 2013. Pretty good deal, for RM1890 they give you the bike, a free Nutcase helmet, bottle cage and a free Knog Blinker LED light.

Dealt with a guy there named YC, he was really nice and patient with me, being a noob and all. And even let me
test ride two bikes (Boardwalk D8 and the Tern P8) in their cute little track behind the store.

Gonna collect it tomorrow..can't wait! Hope I didn't make the wrong decision, but being a Tern, can't go wrong, right?

Wow, the tailou of Folding Bikes Msia Sam himself was the first to post after me. This is such an honour!
Oh he had lousy customer service ah? oops, I guess i must be lucky then
Next step, build up strength and stamina!
Ok will make sure they tune up the bike properly, anything I should know about tuning other than brakes,
derailleurs etc?

Ok noted. Braking no screeching, shifting should be smooth and to check lock up hinges. Thanks!

And thanks etigge! Finally my first foldie

Power to the Foldie!

*after reading Etigge's post on stripping off paint*



Etigge, why don't you open a bike pro shop already?

That's damn awesome chicken rice man! Congrats lol

That's damn scary bro! I pray your friend recovers soon and do ride safe!
He might have braked suddenly coz he may have thought he seen something or someone run across (like a cat/squirrel/kid).

Master Etigge, isn't this the awesome chicken rice you bought just like 2 days ago? So fast already offering up for sale? sayang ohhhhh...it looks damn nice btw. what not wit the Shimano LX Deore derailleurs and all

Oh ok ok..my bad, misunderstood!
So he's actually selling the wan tan mee instead of chicken rice la lol

hey there! looks like you finally found your bike! congrats!
KHS is a good brand, can't go wrong with it!

Wow, after reading the last few pages about Robyn's problematic Tern P9, I'm kinda saddened
being a Tern fan.
I bought a Tern Link D8 about 3 weeks ago and so far nothing has happened to the bike so far.
Maybe the P9s had a bad batch? Still, you would think they had better QC before distributing out the bikes.

Send an email to Josh Hon la and see what he says

wah! you hardcore wei! i'm still pretty much a leisure rider...i think so far probably only like 30 KM on it LOL
*epic fail*
anyways I hope after etigge has tuned your bike and all the chaindrops are no longer an issue with your P9
