are u plan to have 1 bike only?

if yes then make sense to choose 20" folding bike.

else, i would prefer a 14" or 16" folding bike + a RB or MTB

Yes atm plan to get 1 folding bike try try 1st.Saw this Java minivelo and really like it but cost over rm4k so out of budget haha tongue.gif
Prefer folding bike as can fit in car easily biggrin.gif

minivelo is like something in between, neither here nor there.
small like foldie but cannot fold. only if you're really interested in it otherwise i know of 2 guys who bought and re-sold it in less than 6 months of riding it.

I see.... lol i like the look of it haha tongue.gif

get your direction clear…define what's your usage, then start shortlisting from wheelsize…then frame…then only brake and groupset.

My usage is for ride around taman and sometimes when go travel to other state can put it inside car and take it out for a ride.That's why i thought folding bike suitable for me.

"travel to other state", "sometimes"

if those requirements i think smaller and compact folding bike like Pikes will be better, if u "fold" time is more than "ride" time.


Thanks! will google it smile.gif
