FSIR Spin pricing
I forgot to include pricing for the FSIR Spin bikes. I bought a Spin 5.0 for THB17,800, roughly USD590.
I stripped most of the parts and wheels, sold them off, and recouped USD250. Net cost for frame, fork, headset, handlepost, seatpost collars, seatpost, about USD350. I then reinvested about USD350 in a hand-built wheelset, a SLX/Zee 1x drivetrain and Avid brakes, Ergon grips. For about USD700 net, I have a relatively light (9.5kg/20.9lbs), quality, non-proprietary components, customized bike which has withstood the rigors of touring, and folds well enough for occasional rail/bus/plane travel.
I bought a Spin 3.0 from an importer in Indonesia. I paid about USD600 with shipment to Bali. But they can be had for as low as USD460 in Bangkok.
Again, this is FYI only.
