seems like the Asian stuff is all caught up and in many ways blazing the trail.

Ron Damon

Right. But you wouldn't know it from most of the discussion in this channel.

as a matter of fact my dream bike seems to be only available in Indonesia and nowhere else.
the United Trifold 11 has basically everything I’m looking for in a folder:

sadly the company is non responsive and judging by how slow their website is, not exactly great at communicating either.

This thing, the United Trifold 7s? 8.7 million Rupiah ($550) buys you one. You might even get free shipping!

I was looking at the (Alfine) 11 version, but that one looks cool too! Is that yours?

Ron Damon

No, I don't own a trifold. I pulled it from the largest national online shopping platform where I do most of my bike shopping, Tokopedia.

The 11-speed Alfine model goes for about $1,150.

the nexus 7 looks like a better deal then, and I could always upgrade the IGH later if needed.
it’s a pipe dream though since they don’t seem to ship internationally or even care to reply to international requests…
EDIT: nevermind, just looked at the specs on the 11 and it’s definitely a good deal! I’d go for that for sure, just too bad it’s not steel, but I bet it’s nice.

here’s one for a lot less! Do they sell used on that website?
do ya think you might be willing to help me get this shipped out to me?
