The $150 Ignio Folder gets a $150 Cane Creek Thudbuster
At least now I can ride the thing. The seatpost that came with the bike was too short for me to ride.
So now I've slapped some new grips on it and added a Thudbuster LT and a Biologic Ergo saddle.
Next upgrade as soon as the box comes is Schwalbe Marathon Racer tires and a new set of folding pedals. On the Ignio only one of the pedals folds which I thought was kind of cheesy.
My $150 bike is shaping up. It's not a bad ride.

Also for what it's worth I never could figure out if it was steel or aluminum. The web page doesn't say and the manual doesn't say. It's in Japanese but most technical details are in English. Besides I can read the kana for aluminum or steel anyway.
So I did the only thing I knew what to do to tell was. Took a refrigerator magnet and slapped it on the frame.
Steel.
