It was used for jumps, and was also heavily modified for offroad rides. Sam |

Infact, it was a happy ending when he managed to get a new frame for the Dahon. It was completely retro-fitted. I found it amazing that he had built a new Kilo fork based on CAD design. If there's a definite reference on riding a Dahon Jetstream on the trail, DebCar's site would the the ultimate resource. In relation to what you saw, a large percentage of the Jetstreams here in Malaysia are garage queens. They are kept by collectors rather than ridden on the road & trail. Posting a picture of the broken XP and saying that its a "tragedy" without ever finding out the real story is just plain misleading. Very irresponsible.

Not entirely.
Before the Dahon family split, there were issues about getting parts and replacement frames (recalls and warranty) out. You get better stuff with Tern now, but unfortunately, Josh, the brains behind Tern bicycles had no intention to build an offroad folding bike. Dahon (Just regained their rights to use this trademark) has some issues with quality. You just don't get all the good stuff that comes with the bikes like before (I'd say the "Golden age" for Dahon bikes was from the mid 90s - 2011) where quality components are used. Today's Dahon are a far cry when what they used to be. To answer your question about a mini-Velo, nope, Dahon doesn't produce them. You would have better luck with companies like Tyrell from Japan where a mini bike would set you off by RM8K at the minimum.. Sam |

Wow, so nice! Bike lanes ... to be shared with cars.
Can we see this in Selangor as well? Just a distant pipe dream i guess, as we have millions of cars in Klang valley, no way lah, i think. http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2013...ung-Bungah.aspx |

QUOTE(budgee @ Aug 3 2013, 08:49 PM) Wow, so nice! Bike lanes ... to be shared with cars. Yup, thx to efforts from G-Club and other bike clubs in Penang. They hv annual CFAL (Cycling For A Lane) rides to bring more awareness for cycling. When visiting Heritage Sites, you can see lotsa cyclists. Some even renting bikes as rental prices is pretty low (from RM10/day-Chin Leong, Armenian St). It also helps that certain places have no car zone on specific days.Can we see this in Selangor as well?

The Dash P18 is one of the "hottest" selling folding bikes in the Klang Valley.If you have one made in 2011, that would be a keeper as its one of the best built bikes around. Components were decent, they used Schwalbe Kojak tires. I nearly bought a Dash X-20 which was selling at RM5.8K at the time, but opted out because I didn't want a folding mini-Velo. The present Dash P18, well, you just can't compare it with the first production-run.. Sam |
