Just checked at Rodalink Bangsar today. They have 2015 Tern models. Some models were Tern Link B7 (RM1190) which is a replacement for Link C7 but without fenders and back carriage.

Others I forgot the models but look similar to Link D8 (but without fenders and carriage). About RM23xx and so.

yeah I found khassbicycles after some searching, almost tempted to go jb tomorrow until I found a local shop that has dahon vybe for rm1k so I can save the trouble to travel to jb (I am in batu pahat)
They also have java TT 7 at rm850 wonder which one should I go for? (I never own a foldable before)
As usual they are trying to push some china brand to me instead.

Best that u buy from nearest dealer. As most Vybe in market now is still 2014 model, u shud try to nego as in KL, some shops r letting it go for ~900. For brand, after personally chatting with a 4 to 5 shops, Dahon is still the better brand as more established. Like u, I am also new 2 foldies and reading from all the sifu comments in this forum, good brands are Dahon, Tern...

Try calling Jimmy (the boss) at Kimbell Jaya at 012-2927636 and enquire. His shipment has just arrived and talk to him. He can also send your bikes to your doorstep. Either you want to tune up yourself or ask him to take out the bike, tune it and pack it back into the box and then send it to you. Even Sarawak and Sabah customers have bought from him. No harm calling him.

Same design but different materials. c7s , S is steel ,while the c7a, A is aluminium. S rides better but heavier and it rusts, A is a harsher ride because it's stronger and ridgid but much lighter. If you want to upgrade to 8.9 or 10 speed later, better to get the c7a as the RD hanger is easier to mod while the c7s is just a slim plate and putting on an RD hanger is harder BUT possible. Kimbell Jaya has modded a few before to using Acera RD and shifters, 8 speed.

What you buy when the bike comes initially is the stock factory component. tongue.gif No bike shops will want to change it. Don't worry.
