Hi pinholecam, I love your build, and I am thinking it is very close to what my ideal bike, where I am seeking a versatile, all-round bike. Living in Singapore so I am short of space, I currently ride a heavy china Montague MTB clone and was previously looking at a Birdy as I intend to eventually tour with it but seeing your build has inspired me.


With the new bike I intend to commute to work a few times a week (storage will be outdoors in the elements), taking my toddler son out for bike rides (so a foldable bike means we can explore further), occasional trips overseas, I love all terrain riding (occasional gravel not just park connectors and road) and every now and then going long weekend night rides with my friends who are mostly roadies.


Any idea weight of your setup? I am not very technical and would love to get some advice and shop that is competent to help me achieve my dream.


Appreciate in advance!
