Why buy there when you can get here at the same price! In fact I can arrange cheaper for you, not much lab, maybe round figure.

A Dahon Speed P8 souped up to 18 speed or 20 speed ( but having a 27 speed is advantageous too) would be good. The ride is comfy and the frame able to withstand. I even used it on the Thompson trail in Cameron Highlands. A Dahon Vybe C7A is also quite robust.  icon_rolleyes.gif

how about the new model Dahon Speed D8?

It's the same frame. Different colour scheme. The Speed is the best frame that Dahon ever designed and manufactured, don't think they will stop making it.

Just slightly higher than Malaysia. If convenience is the factor, it should be OK. Why don't you hunt around in Togoparts if there's any used unit? Most Singaporean bikes are in good condition, they don't ride much and also many of them are upgraded with really nice components.

what is the cheapest price i can get in KL for Speed P8? I might go to kl in this 3 weeks?
Is it wise to get it in kl rather than s'pore? how frequent it requires for servicing?

Bought at S$799 in Singapore, saw one sell RM1850 in Johor Bahru but is inconvenience for me to go to JB to buy the bike, so might as well to buy it here and get the free one year tuning.

after a morning ride today, i've encountered few issues of my new dahon d8:
- the seatpost slipping, and caused the seatpost some scratches
- sound from the hinge of the handle post is obvious
- and there are other sound which i can't identify from which part of bike

did i get a lemon set of bike? hmm...

When you buy the Dahon, they usually have a small bottle of touch up paint included.  You can touch up the peeled part with it.

they din't give me any touch up paint when i bought the bike, so the best way is go to the hardwareshop to buy those touch up paint for car right?

hey guys pls suggest what are yr usual methods to clean and maintain your folding bike? tq
