Lately , I got myself a bike , a Dahon Speed P8.
due to difference of price , I brought it back all the way from Taiwan.
This is how it looks like : Before & After
Specification for Speed P8 :
Frame: 4130 Cromoly frame with Sonus (triangulated cross section) down tube, integrated head tube and forged frame hinge. Height adjustable Radius Telescoping stem with revised latching system
Drivetrain: Sram X7 rear derailleur, Sram 3.0 index grip shifter, 11-32T 8 speed cassette, Sugino crank 52T ring with resin ring guard. Chain catch clip to prevent chain jump to the inside.
Brakes: Kinetix V brakes and Avid V levers
Wheels: Kinetix Comp double walled rims in black. 20H front radial lacing, 28H rear, radial non drive side, 2x drive side. Schwalbe Big Apple 20 x 2.0 tires Kevlar belted 65psi.
Others: Wider BioLogic saddle with Biologic seatpost with built in air pump. Ritchey handlebar. Resin folding pedal. Kickstand. Magnetic frame clip system.
After 2 weeks of riding ,
I found out the seat is not comfortable for me , planning to upgrade it to Selle Royal , an Italian manufacturer of bicycle saddle.
Speed P8 is good for short , medium distance travel , not advisable for long distance.
Got this P8 because it's considerably faster bike in Dahon's lineup , I got no trouble with it so far.
Shifting gear via a grip shift on the right handle,
turning forward for lower gears and back for higher gears.
