You are right, visc is a more viable option compared to sp18 thanks. Originally my plan was to buy a rm1k bike but it seems thats not going to happen anymore. Its like somebody casted a  spell on me. Im think im now looking for bikes within rm2.5k range. Any bikes suggestion within that price?

I contacted usjcycles today..they say dahon 2015 bikes coming in a couple more weeks time. Oh man..quickly la..

u got 2.5k to burn ? biggrin.gif

Hi, folding bike newbie here.
Also looking at the Dahon Archer 18 speed but in aluminum for 2.1k or cdm mu8 for 1.6k.
Would u say it's over priced? Not value for money?
I ride mainly on road on my 26 in mtb or road bike.
Broke my wrist in bike accident and it is still sore. Looking for for more upright ride.
Take weight of my wrist.

i din mean bikes from china is over prices,

if u wana buy frm china, u hv to include the shipping fee.

a box of dahon measures roughly ( for 20 inch like speed falco )

85x36x65 cm

thats ~ 0.1989m3 very close to over 0.2m3

shipping fee by laut

0.1 m3 = RM65
0.2 m3 = RM85
0.3 m3 = RM125

the kaa083 is alu body with 18 speed,
there are many variants, and u can get all sorts of deals frm sellers in taobao...


one more thing... folding bike riding style might not be that up right nowadays..

if u wan the seat to be at optimum height, cos the handle post can't be adjusted, like tern bikes...

Tern d16 rm2.3 seems like a good choice brooo. I check at baikbike but the spec didnt mention the frame. Does it chromoly or aluminium?

Earlier you auggested dahon visc p18 but upon closer look, i dont like the frame design. So i went on and found dahon mu p27. More gear and the frame looks okay.

Dahon mu p27 vs tern d16. Any inputs anyone? I know im an askhole but i promise its coming to an end lol.
*
frame alu, fork steel... for d16...

mup27 is old model i think , not sure stil got old stock?

better tht u ask bike shop, and go check out.

for 2015 not sure guanchow will bring in visc p18/d18.....

if they don't, then really stupid of them.....

Tq H2D
The bikes are at shop so the only cost is taxi to go pick it up.
Almost bought the archer but the shop don't accept card and atm not working so tak jadi.
Anyway tq for the clarification on height of handle post. I'm 5' 10" , will this mean
I will need to lean forward a lot? Tried a bit in the shop didn't feel too hard on the wrist.
*
u mean u r in china?

then u have many choices... better decide which is the best for u.

u might not need to lean forward tht much if the seat to handle post is shorter biggrin.gif

anyway best to try at shop then decide biggrin.gif

Thanks

what acc u wana buy or looking for?


buy from taobao if u can't the parts selling here locally,
or if the parts selling here is very expensive.
buy more stuff to save cost.

this shop sells a lot of foldies stuff, in GZ, triple crown.
http://dgqishi.taobao.com/index.htm?spm=20...497705.2.HDCYVP

this one got actual shop
http://okbike.taobao.com/index.htm?spm=201...507977.2.4XnMx5

if u can read chinese great,
if u can't but knows pinying, u can use google translate separately
to find the names of parts and do search.
