So you expect peopel to remember all the bikes that has been posted in this thread- or maybe even look trough the (so far) 42 pages before daring to post a picture? If so we will be occupied full time and no time to ride..
No wonder some of you guys are sneering at eachother like lapdogs.. too much trapped energy .

what are you talking about? i was just noting that that particular bicycle was the first one posted and making the joke that the thread had come full circle and could now die in peace.


i wasn't sneering or sniping or saying anything aggressive at all in any way.

Personally I have started looking into ways of calming down, get peace in mind and mental and physical strenght joined as one force. Been thinking of a course like this one this summer:

Hey, you have good taste smallwheeler and I was just reiterating your fine selections.

Actually, my bad. I did a search for Bruno and the 16" versions didn't show up because the search only looks for text. I was just lazy.

In the future it would be good for all of us to write the brand and model of the bikes we post because a picture link won't be searched.
So we can learn something after all from my mistake

CRIUS 3.0 (3 speed Nexus)

Probably same as the Dahon Dove and the Fnhon.
But comes with nice Litepro components which make it lighter off the shelf.

In fact, I have a SA 5sp version on order.

Let me know if you get some information on a 5 speed. I'd luv to see if it's worth my while.

Excellent! I'm patiently awaiting your opinion.

based on many of your other posts, i would think that you exceed the weight limit for this bike, but then again..

Actually, I'm far from that. I'm muscular, with a bit of a gut. I most likely could easily bench press you,... Besides, do you always have to be a sarcastic, irritating individual? Hmmm,...

was my comment irritating? i don't understand why. how many times have you posted that you would like to own a particular bike, but you exceed the weight capacity for said bike? more that a few times, right?
i'm just pointing out that this is yet another one of those cases. i'm also demonstrating by posting that pic that it's possible for someone who clearly exceeds the weight limit for a bike, to still ride it without (maybe) snapping it in half. i didn't say you were fat.

hmm. that sounds kinda hot, actually. why don't we meet at corona park where you can "bench press" me to your heart's content, then we can walk up the hill to flushing main street. i know of a few really good dim sum joints there. i think we should split the check though. i'm not sure i can afford to pay for all the dim sum you can eat...

Current SA 5,or the new version they're supposedly coming out with? We've had issues with bikes equipped with the current SA 5's. Poor shifting,jumping out of gear,not staying in adjustment. From the reviews I've read about the auto 2's,fixed 3's,and the 8spds,I personally wouldn't touch anything SA except their 3spds.

Damn you,... Lol! I don't know if I should bench you, or take your offer for dinner and drinks! Muahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Besides, I'd rather do BBQ & craft beers. And I'm not a hipster.

As for the bike, I'll be back down to under 200lbs by mid summer. A smaller bike will be much appreciated for my LIRR commute. I doubt I'll snap that puppy!

Might look a bit odd with a large American on it, compared to a smaller Asian person (its seems popular in Thailand too).
But it does look cute/nice and fold up real small.
I've seen the Fnhon version of it here in Singapore.

Hmmm... no idea...
Thanks for the heads up.

Problem is that I'm just too tempted by the possibility of this 14" very portable bike giving me the all the gear inches I'd need (with the 5sp).
The price is ok, so I think I will still jump.
I'll update here on how it turns out.

I'm getting it for my daughter actually, though it won't harm if dad specs it up a bit so that he steals a ride or two now and then.

Really appreciate your info..thx
