QUOTE(hakumiyashi @ Dec 1 2014, 12:28 AM) Anyone here could help to point out which shop can get Java Fit 16 speed at good price? Currently the cheapest I've seen is RM1.6k give or take RM20.. Most dealers on BBS are advertising close to 1.6k but u can still get additional 5 to 10% off when you go their shop. Sometimes they may not lower the price but will throw 1 or 2 freebies, eg. bottle cage or give u higher discounts on accessories. Anyway, u shud also buy it from a shop that u r comfortable with and also conveniently located for u to follow-up if there's a problem with the bike, service etc... Good luck anyway on your hunt !

Hi. Want to ask opinion. I need a folding bike but I got rm500 only. Need a transport to get around my campus faster. I hate walking. But the problem is my campus is full of steep hill. With the specs mentioned, can these bikes climb well? Sorry I have zero knowledge about bicycle gears. http://www.groupon.my/deals/national-deal/...T_Goods-3&nlp=1http://bicyclebuysell.com/item/240092/trs-20-08-folding-bikehttp://bicyclebuysell.com/item/232104/trs-...um-folding-bikehttp://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r....bucket=8#detailWhich is the best? Or any other recommendation? Should I save more money?

In fact I can arrange cheaper for you, not much lab, maybe round figure.

Feeling gatal to upgrade the stock V brakes in my Tern Link D8 but not willing to fork out too much. Any comments on the Avid FR 5 levers and perhaps Single digit 3 brakes? They seem rather affordable.
And would I really feel a difference?
