QUOTE(SJ18 @ Dec 15 2014, 12:13 PM) Besides Dahon Vybe, I also have the Amis FAC 2.1 24speed and it's a great bike to ride. The frame is sturdy yet feels light. No creaking sound and able to climb pretty well. However some minor setbacks about it is that the mid section of handlebar does not come with 2 rubber washers to hold the entire handlebar in position when you release the lock during folding. As a result, the bar slides left to right and vice versa quite easily, thus causing a lot of scratch marks. Was frustrated when I can't find such parts from local bike shops. Finally solved it when I found similar looking washers for sale in Tokyo 😃. Overall, no regrets with the Amis and fast becoming my fav bike ... Hi, I just bought the same bike (Amis FAC2.1 - blue) last week and haven't got a change to ride it as raining everyday. Now looking for the 2 rubber washers you mention. and where can i get those mud guards ? thanks

QUOTE(SJ18 @ Dec 29 2014, 07:38 PM) Alternatively, u may want to add a GUB handlebar stem which is another solution...available at GW Cycle as posted in their online store. You will probably need to find out whether it fits. Thanks for the advice. @H2D any recommended Taobao seller for Bicycle accessories? Thanks

QUOTE(SJ18 @ Jan 2 2015, 09:48 PM) Just in case you have not found the handle bar lock ring as yet, you can try buying local online dealer (Mike Bicycle Shop). They may have bought it from Taobao too but buying fr them may save you hassle of importing in. https://www.facebook.com/MikeBicycleShop/ph...?type=3&theaterThanks for the info. I will try to get from Taobao 1st.

QUOTE(POYOZER @ Jun 3 2015, 10:13 PM) Where are you staying? How can I join them? This is what I did 1) Reach there around 8-8.30PM, 2) Park car at the roundabout in front of the Putra Mosque. (You will see many cyclist) 3) Get ready bicycle and yourself. (Helmet is a must, better to have front and rear light) 4) Wait in front of PM house. (Normally they will take group photo there before ride) 5) Listen to the whistle then follow the group.
