Yeah, I noticed that about Civia's website.

Both of those bikes you shared are really nice, though. Might have to get one of the Milk framesets and build one up. The Lios is a carbon fiber frame,...

RayB Thanks, I will post back after some rides. I also got your message, but I don't yet have 50(?!) posts on the forum so I can't send PMs yet. The Trucker you found isn't mine; mine's in the US...

This is my Disc Trucker from a few years ago. I left it in the States because I wasn't sure at the time how long I'd be in...

I don't mean to knock the price on any of the bikes. It's more a matter of accessibility for test-rides, and my own personal budget at this point.

I'm not sure I'll even be able to find an s8i in...

Yeah, Assuming I can find the Tern in Japan, it'll be somewhere around ￥240,000 plus tax. A Brompton spec'd to where I want it will be around ￥220,000 including tax. BF is most expensive, at ￥265,000...

Certainly not the smartest thing. The review, unfortunately, didn't answer anything I didn't already know, and a test ride is still necessary.

The question really is whether the Tern is worth...

Thank you. I'll be checking out the Tern dealers around Japan, too, while I'm searching. If I find something, I'll post it here.

I agree, and I'll choose to order through a shop here if I can. Unfortunately, I'm out in Tokushima. The closest Brompton dealer (for test rides, etc) is in Kobe, Bike Friday is Osaka. But we do have...

Thanks for the reminder, it is helpful to keep in mind that the recalls affect the same group of bikes. As always I would prefer to test-ride before dropping so much money, so I'm still hoping I can...

Thanks for the advice. You're right, I see lot of praise for Yan's bikes on these forums, so I would not mind owning one at all. I thought the Mu Uno came with a belt-drive, though? (DAHON Mu Uno -...

Hi, Yan, nice to hear from you again.

I wouldn't mind at all helping you find a distributor in Japan and even doing a little translation, regardless of payment. I simply have no idea how bicycle...

I continue to hear more and more good things about Downtube. I may just go with that, though I live in Japan and he doesn't have a Japanese distributor for me to test-ride.

Yeah, and BF is definitely well-loved. They have a good reputation from the reading I've done.

I'm really liking their models with disc brakes, too. Probably would do that.

Such a shame, cause it's a great idea for a bike--belt drive, IGH, hub dynamo. I have seen some of the shearing incidents and recall from 2013 and 2014, but is this still happening?
