i'm planning to get a foldable bike as well....been thinking between Java Decaf or Fit there but seems to be a different in price a lot estimated rm800 and rm 1400 respectively otherwise any other recommended model within RM1k is appreciated.

i bought my bike from online China before, quality wise is good or could be worse depend on luck and a lot cheaper compare to market price here in Malaysia.
suggest you buy a reputable brand for quality wise
my opinion that foldable is not really a good deal
one thing about buying a bike online is you'll need to assemble it yourself and i tell you is not easy....
from scratch like this :

i ended up pay around rm30 for a bike shop to assemble

nope....it's a roadbike, i'm planning to get either java fit or decaf from the same seller and get a better discount this time

it's by sea estimated 2-3weeks arrived shipping fee depends on volume estimated rm165 like that , air very expensive la....
from taobao....tonysuff something, i can't read chinese my wife do it for me

Dear fellow forumers....

I'm still looking for a foldable bike for both me and my wife for leisure cycling probably at bkt cahaya, cyberjaya and housing area.

i would like to seek your opinion on this foldable bike as the price seems affordable comparing to Java Fit 16s there is a huge price different.

The bad thing is the design not as good as Java when it's folded, like a lil big
