Not too bad, all in cost for a 3 speeds new bike. It is 1/3 price of a Dahon K3 14"  thumbsup.gif

Will you consider a single speed 14" bike? Simple set-up and light, maybe can get it around RM500 range.

I was trying to fit 3 bikes (two 20" + one 16") with 4 passengers into one car (hatch back), no luck... end up with having 2 bikes + 2 passengers all the time  biggrin.gif

I've the new freewheel (11T - 32T) with me, but not install to the bike yet, because I think the 11T a bit too fast for me.
*
the link i posted also has single speed...but it cost RM600 without shipping...so all in should be around RM725.
if RM600 all in then i will consider single speed too, but too bad it's above RM725, make me incline towards to the 3-speed variant.

some more gck mentioned the 3-speed weight penalty isn't much, so worth to take his words.

he did suggest for 14" foldie best gearing will be 45T+9T la...but i would prefer 45T+10T or 41T+9T if I really want a single speed 14"

single speed need to install chain tensioner to keep the chain not falling after prolonged time. so i think 3-speed is not a bad idea.

no la...the reason install the 11-32T u not necessarily have to use 11T mah...u can use the 13T and the chain will be straighter and smoother than you use 14T of 14-28T

I am still look see look see around...see if anyone here got better option or not.

I'm still open for single speed 14"…but not yet found any suitable 1.
those under RM600 all with inferior wheelset and hamster gearing.

not in hurry to get...it's just a want rather than a need.
maybe one day the itchy bug bites me then i will click place order...haha.

can you maximise your riding to the smallest cog on the cassette all the time?

if yes, then you can consider switching to a bigger chainring

if not then dont waste money.

Chainrings can go up to 60T as well. but do remember that when you change to a bigger chainring, most probably you have to change your chains as well because the stock one would be to short for it.

seller claims it using Reynolds 520 (kind of chromoly steel too i think)

this seller all bikes equipped with lousy parts with usable wheelset and frame exactly same design with others (just rebadge with their ugly logo...haha biggrin.gif )

flatbar dropbar pun ada...but cheap stuff la...unless one got extra gooding parts to swap with, most ppl will go for other brands.

Wow! Increased budget and gets the Fnhon 14", pls spam pixs, once you've received the bike.

Btw, anyone know where to get the 'plastic part' (pls refer uploaded image, marked in red circle) of the handlepost for dahon? The plastic part has a bit of crack, but the handlepost locking function still can be locked properly.

Thanks!
