I need some advice.

I just visited two bike shop near my area. Both were selling folding bikes, though not the high-end brand.

The first shop had
1) Aluminum frame, Imagine folding bike - RM 500
2) Aluminum frame, MassStar (I not 100% sure this is the brand...I forgot) - RM 500
3) Steel frame, Garion - RM 350 (This is quite heavy, most probably will not go for steel)

The second shop had:
1) Aluminum frame, Garion folding bike - RM 495


Are any of these brands remotely ok? Thanks!

I don't know the model number. The RM495 Garion was at the second shop. The RM495 Garion is aluminum frame but the RM 350 Garion is steel frame.

google image n show which one, ....

The RM 350 Garion is this one : http://www.lelong.com.my/cronus-batch-gari...7-01-Sale-I.htm

The RM 495 Garion looks like this : http://www.thebasikal.com/product/garion-folding-bike/

yea... so just compare the oscar imagine n garion ....

Yeah, I am kinda gravitating to the Oscar Imagine. The shop that was selling it said it would give free service for life. So, that would be useful, in case the gear shifter would spoil.

anyway, thanks for the replies!

great

I am using the saddle seat pouch bag~~what is it that u wanna know?

the pouch bag is too small for my 5 inch screen hand phone and my full size wallet~~
but good for multitool, car / house keys and and smaller card holder i used for cycling~~
good point is...it does looks ok on my saddle and matched with the colour of my bike~~

but one thing for sure, the quality of the belt is not good...mine is broken and i had to use staple it to keep it hanging~~

Hi Julz,

Im using the Roswheel handler bag.. the biggest size which can house the Note3. so far so good. Can fit in my wallet, car keys and the phone. Pls note the front loop are too short for foldies, hence need to extent it in order to wrap around the front (to keep it from moving)

On the saddle pouch bag, can get the Giant brand from Mr. DIY. Selling for RM11.90 only. Useful or not is up to you.


Already decided what Foldies to buy yet?
