Looks very close to Tornado frame..maybe made by the same factory.

Check out this site : The guy is currently building this frame set

ic,design wise...
i think fnhon is slightly better...
and i dun like red...
so maybe will skip crius...
tern verge in SG is kinda cheap...
i think dis 2 might be main option,leaning toward to tornado...

ic,should be buying fnhon tornado for me next setup den...
thinking of getting single crankset around 46T...
as most of d time i am using my rear gear change,very less on d front...
Any cons for that? Or really no big deal for d front...
Btw,using 11-30T at d back...
Any 9/10 - 32/34T cassette in d market?
For d brake part,can i use for d back hydraulic disc only?
Coz d front brake also not in use most of d time,or brake is better to install both side?

Not a good idea to install below 53T chainring for foldie 20inch..U will max out or lack of high speed gear real quick..especially coming down a slope. I think minimal also at least 52T la...unless u always riding relek relek only.

There is disk brake version of Tornado if u wanna run disk brake set up...and it looks cooler to me actually.
U still need the front brakes for safety, back brake wont save u in emergency situation. Dont omit that.
*
ic,what i am more concern is climbing,going down from slope is kinda short for my group cycling...
currently using Crank SOLTD-321 42*52T*165,Cassette 9 SPEED -11-30T...
feels kinda heavy for front 52 + back 30,but a bit light for 42 + 30...
top speed 52 + 30 is enuf for now,coz we not speeding type,but would like to join some roadbike in future,but not those speed type one...
maybe get something 48 + 32 will be good?
my thought for single ring at d front to save some money...
with something 48 + 11,i will lose some topspeed also rite?
or i should get d 52 + 32/34 one for climbing...

ya,eye-ing on that disc brake frame...
coz my java now is using disc brake also...
ok bro,i won't save for d front brake option den...

actually, setup fpr 48t is a wise choice consist of climbing. even single chainring is for lesser gear setup headche and lighten ur bike.

but,
if ur thinking of joining a roadbike group ride in the future, the 53/39 is good enough lah. u will have option lower gear 39t and higher speed with 53t.

if the 11-30 is too light for u, try to used 11-25. close ratio casette is good on flat road also climbing bcoz our setup on small wheel. big jump casette (mtb casette) good for single chainring, small ratio (road casette) is for double chainring.

Thinking of single chain at d front to save money & less headache...
Noted for d back part...
Jz curios,how light is (53 + 34) vs (52 + 30,current)...
If it's lighter by quite a lot for (53 + 34)
Maybe i will get a 53 + 11-34...

I dont live in klang valley bro.so, that place is quite far from me.

Here actually we got a few places with respectable gradient as well. sometimes i just choose mtbing climb offroad jer..planning to ride on bukit tampin and bukit sampah somewhere in the near future, just need to arrange suitable time to go there, since the distance will be around 120-140km..

What i meant with fraser is, the gradient isn't as extreme as i previously imagine in my head..you know lah, it's a famous climbing spot in Malaysia, and it's been hailed as the place where cyclist 'renew licenced', in the end, it's only a long and continous climb with moderate gradient. Once you get your gearing and cadence right, it was an effortless climb. But i do enjoy the trip, just less excited to ride there again.

Went to bukit tampin last week,it's very challenging for a new rider like me...
Going down hill can smell my brake frying adi...
Quite a nice tranining ride though,might plan to go there once / twice a month soon...

it's challenging for most of the riders ler.  biggrin.gif . kudos to you thumbup.gif

i prefer climbing more than riding downhills, because my balls shrinks on the descent sweat.gif

We took our time up,rested a few times...
A group of 15 ppls i think,so everyone manage to get up to d top,some beginner gets some assist from d pros also...
Everyone can make it,i am being told by some pros that it's not quite challenging,ask us to try bukit beruang hill,only up climbing,and down at ur own risk...
I straight surrender...

I got both bro, mtb and foldies..mtb got 2 sets of wheelset, one for offroad, and the other one is a lighter wheelset for onroad used with slick tyres..too lazy to change tyre.

But i enjoy riding my small wheels more. It's just as fast, no, i think it's a faster ride than mtb. But to be exact, for me, both mtb and foldies differs in terms of pedalling technique, where on foldies i can spin spin spin and save my energy and on mtb i have to grind grind grind and use more power, especially during offroading..but could be because my foldies crankarms is 170mm and my mtb is 175mm..dunno ler..one thing for sure, both foldies and mtb are fun to ride in their own way. biggrin.gif

If u in melaka, can try join with Lizard Cycling Group (most of them are MTBers anyway, onroad ride on wednesday night, 50-70km with average of 25-30kmh. Offroad every sunday..
*
I plan to go for 2 wheelset also,1 for on-road,1 for off-road...
Maybe later...
Ya,pedaling technique is different,i totally tak biasa when i ride my mtb after sometime with folding...
Erm,they got fb page or time to gather?
I am more interested with d on road one...
