many ppl buy from taobao, depends on which shop u choose, u can ask them to pack properly.

better you go to shop n try it, cos budget bikes are not light, some very mafan to fold.
so u better go shop to test first.

Thanks for the reply. From wat i roughly go thru most member here just buy spare part from taobao not a whole new bike. Correct me if i'm wrong.

another question, is these sport rim will cost more when changing new tyre? these type of tyre use inner tube or not?

I just bought a 2419 recently. So far its ok.

but i saw ur requirement- light. 2419 is not light, it is almost 16kg. I am thinking to let go & search for lighter bike because i am going to ride to cycling tour. For leisure use, it is ok.

But for rm 500, its a good bargain. RM500 cant actually bought you 21 speeds & disc brake function & light bike.

the sport rim u can see the inner tube valve mar, so of cos use inner tube + normal tyres

saw some amis brand folding bike frm attaque bikes, can try to search the price....

spam last weekend pix lah



got roadies, mtbs and fb.avg speed?25kmj all the way!

Any1 know where can i found trinx ka2016d?
Preferably johor? Or can do postage from other state~ tq

Call Jimmy at 012-2927636. He does oustation sales through courier as well. Also many choices of folding bikes including the Trinx you mentioned.

i heard the trinx ka2016d already stop production.
sadly, this is the most popular and value for money trinx folding bike here in Ipoh actually.

Ya, heard that too. Replace with ka2024d. More expensive.

Is it heavier bike means more effort to ride?

depends on u,
the heavier the bike, the bigger momentum u have but the more effort u have to paddle. both got pro & con. the drawback is if u carry it on a bag, u shoulder will get pain, that for sure!

finally,
after more than six month i started my restoration porject, today this bike made its 1st appearance!



but, this bike are not 100% complete yet. another 15% to go.

that is so clean !!

keep it up bro.

actually not so clean lah, bcoz riding on the rain

here is another view..

java pro 451 rm1350
dahon route sgd550 (rm1650)
java fit rm1650
dahon Vybe c7a (??)
Trinx KA2016D RM950
