Hi, a few weeks ago I bought Tern Link A7. I chose a basic bike because don't have good knowledge of folding bike. Tern is famous/popular company has a solid frame so seems is a good base for modification.

I'm quite happy with my bike but want a better suspension for the comfort of the ride.

Read this forum and similar many times, change my saddle for Brooks with is much better, consider change tire for Big Ben? but actually, Kenda is not so bad and rolling nice.

Think about titanium seatpost or Biologic Tern suspension. Many users too recommended telescopic post due to easy adjustment and collecting saddle from the street... so may is a good idea get the telescopic post and change upper part 27.2mm for any cheaper suspension seatpost from a classic bike?

I'm 187cm tall and 83 kg weight, original seatpost (580mm) is enough long for me - I still have 1-2 cm extra. I have due to age (40+) returning small problems with knee so need a possible more healthy option.

The bike is using for trekking, off-road riding, better exploration of visited cities/places. Don't have plans hard/sport ride.


Won't spend more than 70 euro for it, still need rack, pedals...
