TERN Verge "X22" fitted with Campagnolo POTENZA groupset








Hi guys, I am just sharing with you my first build in year 2020.
The original X18 looks not bad but actually not properly equipped, from my point of view. So upgrades are necessary.
In order to keep the silver colourway, there are not many options on the groupset.
And also no possibility of using carbon parts.
So now it ends up with this shining "X22". :-)
All is good except the weight. 10kg is not very ideal. However, I have other folding bikes which are light enough, so I can leave with it.

Thanks to the high quality frame and groupset, the ride is extremely smooth and stable. I think I'll do a lot of mileage with it.

Very nice looking bike! I've got 7,500 miles on my Verge S11i and have done a couple centuries on it. It's as solid as my full-size road bike... though I wouldn't ride it no-hands much.

Waiting for the train!

I also have a Verge S11i, exactly as same as yours!
Very robust folder! But you may need to either tighten your chain, or consider to replace it if you have not done ever.

I have changed the chain and rear sprocket at appropriate times, thanks! I like to run the chain with a bit of slack; there's no risk of it coming off!
