Reasonable foldie to recommend

looks like to own a Aleoca is a very embarassing thing ..... my wife bought two (single speed) for leisure cycling around the PCN and I thought its not a bad idea. But it seems owning this brand is like a very malu thing?

The most malu thing for me is to be out paced by uncle riding single speed 16 inch no brand foldie on the PCN. Respect

Aleoca bikes are especially good for traveling around local neighborhood/library commuting trips. You don't have to worry about heart pain if bike stolen since is not costly.

In the end it still mainly depends on the person. An amateur driving a Ferrari would likely crash it. Is same thing with many people thinkng by working for big names like Lehman Bros, Merril Lynch & having these namecards makes them better. What happened to Lehman Bros & Merril Lynch? Many sinkies like to work for big names like MNCs thinking with so-call MNC name on their namecards to bolster their worth.

Many of these insecure people don't realise that depending on externalities to so call portray their image/worth is fleeting & at times a lie. Look at the Da Vinci furniture maker scandal. So many idiots pay premiums just for the brandname when is still made in China & passed off as imported from Italy. What lies are they telling themselves about the brandname?

Give Lance Armstrong an aleoca market bike & he can still chiong non-stop up Mt Faber compared to that show off expensive new bike turned malu guy.

Wah Frontier, that is very comforting to hear that from you, thanks!

Well I guess I am no big time rider, soemtimes I even make use of this fella to do my training instead of running. Speeding with this difficult to ride fella for short distance is like running a long distance!!! It helps sometimes.

On another note, I hope the 100kg guy is not fat because I have seen out of shape people wearing cycling jersey, a bit funny looking.

Everything has a start. I still use my old steel bike for short commute rides to libraries/malls etc. No worry about being stolen. Is my 1st bike & close to end of its riding life.

I've riden this old clunky steel up Mt Faber last year though i almost didn't make it if it hadn't for the rider in front showing it can be done. Some riders are obsessed with reducing the weight of their bikes but there is often 1 thing they neglect which is they themselves. We don't see overweight jockeys on horses.








Do i feel malu riding the all steel oldie with the rest on that ride inclusive of Mt Faber? Yes i do. In the end is a personal achievement having rode up Mt faber non-stop though i almost collapse. What about those who spend a bomb on their bikes but didn't make it up non-stop? It is a question they ought to ask themselves if the question even pop into their heads in the first place.

Frontier : salute you!

I m interested in buying a new foldable bike. Do anyone own a STEPDRAGON bicycle from taiwan? i interested in their SS3 priced at $595.
Is this brand bike good?

I just bot a polygon urbano 2.0. Very smooth bike. Those who wants a foldie to start off. I think its a nice bike.

I just got me a 2nd hand dahon speed D7 with that budget..i must say for a 2008 model it feels quite good. I mount a child seat behind and last Wed was our maiden ride out.

I think you can try out the entry level like Aeon which cost less than $500 for brand new one. Like the other guys here mentioned before drop by at MBS, they have a few you can consider. They have pre-owned section that you can view, who knows it might meet your budget
