Shipping in is not cheap unless using sea lines but the wait will be long. Shipping via airlines is a few hundred and with that there's a risk that it is not what you want later. Also since you buy from overseas, many local bike shop won't touch it when comes to tuning and alignment before use. If they do, they will nag alot , critisize a lot and charge you unfairly. If all these is worth the few hundred bucks saved, then go for it.

A new Dahon Speed P8 plus modding the front to double chainrings is about RM2700 to RM2800. A bit offroad, why don't you go for Dahon Jetstream? Both materials, Chromo and aluminimum is very common in use and we can't really recommend without actually knowing what style or kind of rider you are. I suggest you read the post from V1, most of the answers are there.

PS/Don't forget about the custom's tax and also the GST as well !

Hi Etigge,
Thanks for the advice. Will read through.

Possible to estimated the cost of changing the original handle twist shifter as I prefer the lever type.
Any shop recommended?

Note : I'm staying in Pg but often travel to KL area.

Thanks

The shifters can get from Sai86 or Dave who are from the northern states. No need to get from KL. Sai is cheaper though. They post their products in bicyclebuysell.com site. They comes inpairs though , left and right. For 9 speed it starts from Shimano Altus and then Shimano Alivio. If you want to use roadbike RDs, then go for Shimano Sora which is more expensive though.

Those days quality shifters are in 9 speed as well, that's before they introduce 10 speed. Shimano produces 9 speed Deore, LX, and XT. and even XTR. But you need to keep a look out for them in the buysell forum. Now the quality ones are mostly 10 and 11 speed. Yeah it call 'trigger shifters'.

Hi Etigge,
Thanks for the valuable info, will check in bicyclebuysell.com

Seems the latest Dahon Qix has landed on our shores. News received that it is already in the warehouse and should be delivered to Kimbell Jaya by next week. This is the latest fold following the success of the Dahon Jifo and Dahon EEZZ 16 inch bike. They now took the same fold technology and made a 20 inch. Looks good and the price it seems is slightly less than 3K, though not confirmed. The Jizz which is available in Singapore was selling almost 3K after exchange.

In dilemma now. To get this or to wait for the Dahon Curl. This it seems can be modded to 20 speed

End result posted by d owner.... not bad hor
