Hand itchy. So bought Amis Folding Bike - 21speed
[attachmentid=4196074]

Like the chinese saying, " Yat cham chin yat cham forr ". Off course there's a difference. Dahons are made after their research on metals, geometry and gearings. Off course other branded makes akso have their respective researches. On the other hand, those brands that you mentioned latter donb't have this. They just copied the design and used cheaper materials.

It's hard to describe it for a beginner rider as only with riding more that you start to appreciate the value that is paid. Most newbies will say, " Why pay 2.5K for a Dahon with 18 speed as compared to a same spec-ed bike from XDS, Trinx or Java?" Yes, why?, on the spur, we cannot prove nor convince any newbies. But the fact remains that a serious rider who started with those will eventually get the better bike!   Why? It's the difference, the characteristics of the bike geometry in tandem with the folding strength and materials.

Many here has known me and I stick to my words. Components and wheelsets can be changed or upgraded later. Start with a good frame. Dahon is very basic in it's specs for cost reasons. I have modded to 27 speed since I used the Dahon Eco C7 (kniown as Vybe C7A now). The components is transferred to the Speed that I am still using now. I have ridden a Dahon Speed for almost 2 years now and even after so many harsh rides, it still rides best. The fold hasn't loosen a bit.

A proof is to check the availability of Dahons on the used market. It's hard to come by.  Even if someone gave up, their Dahons are usually snapped up by their peer riders. Even the Eco C7 is still selling for RM750 after being used for 2 years.

Mind to share some review on this bike?

Thanks

Hey peeps, i just recently got myself a cheap, used foldie (Garion). It works surprisingly to my liking. I know, plenty of others that would be way better but im still a student so budget is very low xD

Need to ask, anybody know where to get a cheap carrying bag for foldies (20")? Is it okay if instead of carrying the foldie, i just drag it along (using the wheels, not drag the steel body on the floor )? was thinking to save money and just use IKEA bag but that one considered like last option for me la

go to Mike Bicycle shop in FB to grab fake dahon carry bag.. cost you Rm50 only

if you are talking about Ikea Blue Bag, maybe can fit

but if you are talking about Ikea Dimpa bag, you can forget about it because it wont fit.

Targetting Tern/Dahon 7 speed till came across this to what as a beginner very informative for people whom have itch once a while

I might settle for Tern Link D8. Anyone know nice price for D8, please do not hesitate to PM me the shop as lazy to go shop by shop as phone call does not get you the best price (scare competitors ). Second hand also can consider.

yeah, that blue ikea bag xD though, the only concern is whether or not the strap will koyak but ill just leave that for desperate measures 
anything i should prepare for bike maintenance? i only got basic tools like screwdriver, wrench and a WD-40, doubt it will be enough for proper maintenance 

or should i go to shops for maintenance instead?
