guys, been reading thru this forum for while and decided to get a foldies for the wifey but still unable to decide, went to shop around pg island and got recommendation on several brand, i.e. dahon, oyama and most affordable raleigh uno.. currently leaning towards oyama a taiwan brand (but shop claim it was from japan) the fitting lok goods but not really sure abt the body quality and raleigh for the price and upgrade that i can do for the budget balance.. dahon came in last due to the price... the question is anybody got experience with oyama before?

thanks ora_ito, might get the Eco C7 then, as hard to find info abt oyama, summore price is lower.

another question, is it possible to add front derailuer for eco 7?

went to the shop, compared few bike, eco c7, boardwalk d7, oscar, polygon owh and mup8.. almost end up with boardwalk but it did not come with the back rack so in the end really go for eco7 for the look.. and almost get killed by the home miister due to wanting to get the mu p8... also she cant understand why got to spend so much for a foldie, even my mtb also cost less... but after have a round with it then she understand and forget abt the oscar & polygon which is not even half the price...

yup due to not in same range.

guys need recommendation on reputable taobao agent.

anybody buy the doppleganger with 20% disc recently?

end alrd lah bro, easybike doing disc for customer tat order online.

haha same here, only last weekend manage to get bullied by those mekong in hatyai.. now most of the old coots stop fishing and go cycling alrd..

nope they went week before that.

seen some foldie add hub gear to add more combination to their bike, thinking of doing that also but was advice by the shop owner that it will be a mess when we want to change the tyre and some shop is not willing to do it for you due to the additional step they need to dissaemble and reassemble the thing.. is it true?

yes lo there is xtra part that need to be taken out and put in again for the gear hub that y not encourage.... hmm can be consider.
tq H2D.

last weekend went back to hometown and have chance to take out the eco c7 for a spin down the memory lane. it has been a very long time since the alst i cycle in this route (last was in my secondary sch time).. seem like the chain need some lube alrd. got to visit ace hardware this weekend..

got to visit farer shop i think.

went to a bigger bike shop to get this chain spray that cost me rm350 .... (spray rm20+ 2nd hand set of rims and road tyre for my rusty mtb)...

yup very thin, need to re-lube frequently. it help to clean the chain and leave thin coating on the chain.

still can find ugo in pg? last 2months i survey most of the shop is out of stock.

wow that cronus look good.
