etigge would say, buy the cheaper one and upgrade the groupset!

yup. good enough for some taman riding, but not recommended for ppl looking for speed.

especially if know how to install the groupset yourself. Definitely the way to go. So much better value.

I would suggest u buy the sport equipment package.. anyhow they will charge you for that.. bike will be consider as sport equipment.IMHO

I think most of us can perform the installation of the normal groupset on d bike, just need the right tool. The only problem will be the sram DD3...

~ 240K yen,

bike shop or taobao....

Petrol belum naik. Berat badan dan saiz pinggang dah naik. Seluar jaket banyak yg dah sendat tak muat...

berat badan naik should cycle more la

Yea thanks, i know. I don't mind paying whichever luggage fee, just in doubt over the few points below, with of course priority to ensure the bike arrives safely:-

1. Normal checked luggage - as it is in a sealed box, they won't know what's inside when checking in, will ask for FRAGILE tag, but not sure if this is safer than "Sports Equipment" tag;

2. Sports Equipment luggage - bike folded and packed in a sealed box, will ask for FRAGILE tag, wondering this way is safer or normal checked luggage;

3. Sports Equipment luggage - bike exposed as it is wrapped in cling wrap/bubble wrap and not folded. Wondering if this way they will be forced to be extra careful with the bike.

Will probably go for number two, unless someone has experience with this.

working on it... working on it... hehehe

here ppl just use cardboard etc... for brommie yg mahal2.....

one teori is , if soft soft, they will be more careful...

our local airport boys? those workers ignore that fragile tag lah... they would just throw around like a boss...
my wife's java fit first time naik kapal terbang, protected by cardboxes and packed inside the folding bicycle bag, when take out that time the rear derailleur punya cage plate sudah bengkok. jilakak have to spend money to replace it.

hmmm... what about dismantling the the "fragile" parts before packing.. i.e. RD, shifters, brake levers, pedals (unless already using QR)... at least this would minimise these parts from bending/breaking.. downsides are would take a bit more time to assemble/disassemble, and to have some basic expertise in doing it (not too hard a skilll to pick-up though)

That's scary.. Sigh.. Now I am worried..

Yes. Learnt from exp. either dismantle and then wrap and tie everything securely with paddings in between. Or if lazy, install a cage guard for the RD.

Pray hard. Pray very hard!

Hi, I am new to this group. My foldie workhorse with fold-able basket used to Jaya Grocer, 7E, football field, public park, etc.

Hi sifus, newbie here
Which foldies are suitable for female rider? I mean the bike that got feminine looks, etc2.
Or there is a specific folding bike for women?
