BRU Frankel or Yishun?

Frankel. Honestly I'm not sure if they allow me to purchase more than one saddle. I'm getting one for myself. I mean, I bought one bicycle, getting one or two saddles ok....but more than four?...someone wanted two for himself and his wife. I'll probably just get for myself and one other. PM me contact details if ok to meet at Frankel at 6.30pm +-

I'm ok to get for everyone who wants the saddle. Just not sure how BRU would react >.<

And I stay quite far from Frankel so I won't be going there often.

He will learn it the hard way next time. ;)

I can imagine he splashes a"lot of money" on an entry level foldie for $500, cycles for a while and wants to upgrade the bike, and then to his horror, he needs to spend another $700 just to upgrade his bike to 20 speed.

Then he will be cursing... Why not pay $500 + $700 = $1200 in one shot and get a way better bike when he first bought it the first time? :s13:

We all have been through the same stage lah. Speaking of foldies, during the NPark saga, Brompton really interests me but the price point kept putting me off. End up I bought Tahara, Tern, Dahon before I end up with my Brompton P6R. I can say that money wise it would have been better to have just bite the bullet with Brompton in the first place. But on reflection, having owned the first 3 gave me experiences and knowledge compared to having owned only a brompton. These memories are precious in their own right too.

I have the same sentiments as you too.

Except that I am still keeping my Tern. It has way too many memories, and not to mention it has been personally autographed by Josh Hon, and has been substantially modified. I learnt so much with my Tern journey, not to mention getting to know a big group of pals whom I can count on whenever I am in trouble.

Now my Tern is for me to train my speed and go for long distance.

My Brompton is for portability and convenience. And it is to train my leg strength as the gearing is really very shiong. :s13:

Who knows? Maybe I will get a Tyrell next year?

Why buy that? For about $450 can get edge 810, with navigation, just pay $100 more nia.

Waste money these 2 garmin, not cheap some more. $200 for bundle still can consider.
