Cool. Thanks. Looks like I am already in most of these groups, except Malaysian Foldies where I just quit this group. Didn't like their style. They (even the admin) just like to insult and ridicule for no reason. Using "that fella" and "need to wear specks" although what I shared was correct and still insult me, even after knowing that I was right.....I just find that to be ridiculous.

They were offended with my insult after that, saying that I have to respect the elderly, but they don't realise that :
1) Respect comes with wisdom, not age.
2) There is no such thing as bigger insult or smaller insult. An insult is an insult. So if you want to insult me, you must be ready to accept the consequences, which will normally be greater than what you've given.

They were childish. So I decided to quit from there.

Well, thanks again. Might join Vans Urban Bicycle ride. That seems to be the nearest to me (and also car free morning which is every first Sunday of the month)

What I can tell you is this. As it stands, it has cost me about RM2300. Probably the same as a
P8, but the components I have would be much better. It currently weighs 10.7kg. Perhaps the cheapest way to lose weight was the seat post and saddle. Don't think I can do much better now.

Took it for a brief spin just now and perhaps the gears needs to be run in, but it didn't feel as smooth changing as my normal bike, which has the 8speed Alfine hub. Don't think any deraillieur system can beat the smoothness of the internal gear hub.

Also I compared this bike with a friend's Brompton and while they both had approx the same wheelbase, the Brompton felt more refined and I wonder if it is because of the steel frame, or maybe it had an internal hub too? Anyway too early to judge. I need to ride it more. Oh, and funny enough the Dahon felt a bit more cramped, even though the distance from seat to handlebar is similar...... hmm.gif
