Hi.
I am looking for foldie for my wife, budget set at around 1.5k
I come across with Java Fit and Dahon Vybe D7 2017 which fall under my budget, anyone can provide some explanation what is the important thing I should concern?
Java Fit is Shimano Sora 18 speed while Dahon Vybe is Shimano Revo 7 speed.
Is 7 speed sufficient? My wife is not a cyclist and not so good in physical activity, feel free to name me other model that falls within my budget.
Thanks so much!

If you value function over brand, buy the Java fit. *PS, Dahon boss is a Hong Kong born American… I'm not a brand guy, I want it to be usable and durable and doesn't need to upgrade anytime soon, of course there need to be sparepart available if anything spoiled. Is 18 speed sora good to go for foldie? Because for rb, sora groupset is a no go. Anything else I should take into consideration? Is the bike usable for touring as well? I plan to carry the bike with me while on local road trip. It is a fun activity to do I think, This post has been edited by helven: Aug 6 2017, 05:45 PM |

QUOTE(KenC @ Aug 6 2017, 05:55 PM) Don't think too much. 1.5k only get you so far. Sora no good for RB. Hmmmm… u gotta raise your budget liao… say 3.5k maybe… Really, it's all about how big a budget you have… Its very normal to set a budget and demand more with the same money. I lagi worst，I want a 2kg bike for 150ringgit.  Haha okok, thanks bro. |
