Oh? what made you decide to go for Brompton? Care to share? others here may have some similar decision making to do and your feedback will be important.


There are two Brompton dealers. Vans Urban and Pedalspot.

Pedalspot is the importer actually and they have 2 outlets, one more coming up in Cheras near leisure mall area. (watch out for their opening sales offers) lots of B bikes on display now...


Cheers and have fun with your future Brompton aka B.

Rileks bro...

Anyway, anyone using this Sigma BC 16.12 STS CAD?
Or can anyone suggest budget but somehow accurate computer with cadence?

Only used for short rides so far, i have no complains la... Working as expected. After all i swapped from 7speed back to 7speed and both also shimano shifters so the indexing are the same. Difference is that my thumb is now pushing the lever below the bar instead of above the bar like previously but even that one is not a problem since we are riding leisurely.

hi, may i get some suggestion where to buy dahon folding bike ? i'm looking at dahon vybe c7a

ya man...was thinking of Trinx as the price is cheaper to start with and similar spec for RM600 lesser.

Here bro,
If you like on-road, speed, then go for RB
If you like off-road, average speed, all-around, then go for MTB
If you like to be special, compact, fun, then go for FB

hiii i bought the same bike at My Bicycle Shop at BU4

Well said, bro..
And, good points
I think FB would be my type of ride for a start!

So..how long have you been a Foldie?

Just started FB.. Previously was with RB.. But don't like it.. Except speed nothing else enjoyable.. I prefer ride slowly and enjoy the scenery..

Now the Foldie in my car boot every day, I can ride it whenever I want to.. No worry even park further away from the location wanted to go.. Just grab the bike and ride to the nearest motorbike parking and lock it there..

Birdy - i hardly see anyone discuss about this FB here.. I read it from GW Cycle FB page.. Is this another 'B' class - expensive foldie?

There is no B class la, oni B

Birdy $$$ yes.. folds clumsy? u hv to check it out.

More towards like Ori... for those brand fans oni..

Another kaki lembik ride today. Must. Exercise. More.

For those who knows how to read mandarin,
http://www.qixing365.com/thread-74842-1-1.html

This girl uses Dahon SP8 to Lhasa, Tibet, China. Whole journey 2160kms.

When they say FB is not suitable for long journey ride
When they say FB wheel is so small and not suitable for long ride
When they say FB steel frame is so heavy, you will die and melt
When they say FB can't go mild off-road
When they say FB can't do this can't do that, but a girl has done it, it means you did not work hard enough.

So, just buy and ride. It's more about your will and your stamina, not the restrictions of the bike.
Of course yes la, you shall not ride uphill with 11t.

What app is this bro?

The red line area is where you turbocharge eh?
Keep it up bro.

Google tracker. Not as detailed as strava or mapmyride though. Red is where i am riding above 13kmh, blue is between 9-13kmh and green is below 9kmh. Me very slow.

Ride slow but far is better than ride fast but short. After some time your speed will gradually increase.

You no join LYNions go cycling activity? Today sunday ler!

Trinx FA2016D

And, he said same SPEC & PRICE, XDS-AFB 630.
