I have a question here. What is the main purpose of your folding bike, health and fitness, commuting, short excursions, touring etc.?

The purpose of having a bicycle in the first place could be due to many different reasons. For me, it's as an exercise, and at the same time, it doesn't emit any pollution and my cost to maintain it is relatively low.And then the purpose of having a foldie could be a standard reason - compact and easy to keep inside the house, car etc and can bring it along when using public transport. Of course, some also get a foldie coz they just love it. |

QUOTE(hsiman @ Apr 28 2014, 06:26 PM) But your 5 fig foldie dun come with the 'ngek' , 'ngek' sound as you cycle. That's the special sound of a carbon bike. Lol my RM800 Ugo comes with ngek sound. Then, after lube with grease, DIY some parts, no more ngek sound   |

QUOTE(haroldz123 @ Apr 27 2014, 01:04 PM) rhine birdy (birdy clone) is only rm3.3k Ah thanks for your recommendations! Ya oyama seems like a pretty decent affordable bike, will consider. http://www.bicyclebuysell.com/#!page=1...cipline%5B%5D=4 plenty in mudah.com : http://www.mudah.my/Malaysia/folding+bike-...ing%20bike&th=1 a branded used folding bike is good too because it oredi break in (tuned, saddle oredi break in), usually in mint condition as users (mostly uncle or young adult) only ride in taman or short journey. sold off probably because the owner upgrade their bike. i saw oyama bike in the link. Dr. Yan the owner, inventor of downtube folding bike said oyama stole some of his ideas when they are planning to do join venture deal to manufacture the bike in asia. downtube is another alternative to suspension folding bike (birdy, jango, brompton) anyone using strava app for recording cycling or running adventure? |

Ya oyama seems like a pretty decent affordable bike, will consider. folding bike that fold on the frame is less rigid than the one that fold at the rear under seatpost.example: downtube, birdy, bromptom, oyama, xootr/swift, oribike i think by now, most shops are having sales to accommodate new 2014 stock and u could get huge discount  |
