- Light weight is subjective.. what is the weight u looking at? foldies around 8-9kg not easy to achieve.. most avg abt 10kg.. trifold can be 12kg

- Easy to ride depend on your fitness and cadence u comfortable with. Can play with chainring and cassette sizing/combination.

- 1.5k is decent; but Full carbon maybe abit stretch

- colours up to individual

- Folding, do you fold for storage or transport? If transport get the lightest trifold.. but this be expensive.. if storage then ease of fold not too critical.

my current foldie.. 8.8kg bifold but i never fold 🤣

What components on that one? Stock or with upgrades? Not familiar with this fnhon brand...is it a knock off of dahon? 

Under 9kg is hard to find...

Errr.. i bought used.. but relatively new.. the previous owner just do nice nice sell! whahahahahhaha..

The things that help make it lighter will be the carbon fork and i guess Kinlin NBR rims with Novatec hubs 451 alloy wheelset. He put ceramic BB too so smoother to ride..

Fnhon and Crius both knock off of Dahon in a way.. between them seem Fnhon quality seem better. This model is Blast which is similar to Crius Master series.

Some of my ex-rides..

I lost count how many bikes i changed before liao.. i think think brompton i think got 8.. Moulton got 4.. Pinerello got 3.. Colnago think 2.. Swork/Specialize 2.. Trek.. Cannodale.. and the list goes on.. easily 40 bikes past 10 years.

Drop bar for foldies ya seem abit weird.. right position not very right too.. for mini velo ok.. such as Tyrell, Ascent still ok.. Java better skip as the top-tube length is short..

Most of my bikes are used or preloved too. Singapore just like to spend then 3 minutes hot and left the bike hanging at home! whahahahhaa..

Btw this morning did coastal.. wow crosswind strong.. don play play

From foldie, to MV to RB... No MTB?

I always thought once you move into carbon RB territory, it is hard to go back to a foldie. Mine is gathering dust. Lol

I only tired ONCE on MTB but don like the way it ride.. dunno how to explain.. i ride Moulton and Birdie (all with full suspension) better..

In a way BUT as once grow older and balls shrunk.. you will gave up speed to go towards "walk horse see flower" type of ride! whahahahahhaha..

I haven't move to the dark side of RB yet but it is probably a matter of time.  Love the zen of riding at high speed. 

Alu better than carbon? How about titanium?

In terms of ride quality, alu might be more harsh than carbon.

I bought alu as it is the cheapest sub 8kg RB in 2015.

Nowadays, cannot get similar spec anymore.

Titanium is too ex for me even Made in China.

To really enjoy speed, need to follow a discipline group.
