Does anyone happen to have a spare straight/flat handlebar? I'm looking to change mine to a flat one to lower the riding position.

Using XDS AFB 160 (old model, 8 speed acera). I think components are quite decent, prowheel crankset, tektro brakes, acera shifters. The frame seems solid enough although there's some creaking sounds here and there. Ride it mainly on roads, very light offroads some times. Used to practice some jumps / endo also. Haha. So far so good. I bought mine used at RM600. So for that price, totally no complains.

I might not pay 1.5k for XDS though. As H2D said, the frame / joints look more simple and cheap compared to better brands. Then again, I don't feel any flex from the frame joint. My handle bar flexes and squeaks quite a bit.

Subang Jaya SS14 has 2 bike shops. One sells cheaper XDS, Raleigh Ugo, Speedgears. Another Lerun shop has Dahons. You can go and compare the quality and see.

Mind sharing how big the box was, and how much was shipping alone? Planning to buy rims from taobao but I'm not sure how much shipping will be.
