Oyama CX16D
Bike will be delivered tomorrow. It's a 20" wheeled folder, disc brakes, Shimano Altius, 16 speed, has Schwalbe Big Apple 20X2.0 tires stock. Solid deal for $407.29 shipped and delivered. I'll post a few pictures after it gets a little ride or so. I needed a decently geared bike for some hilly areas I plan to do exercise rides through. I can't always rely on battery assistance to get me to my destination. Especially if I ever plan on being able to breathe again after covid.

Again,...bike will arrive tomorrow. I'm quite looking forward to it.

Battery assistance? I didn't see that this is an ebike.

Looks good so far, but I'll have to see it in person to make an assessment.

Looks fun, I hope it works out well for you!

You're going to love those tires if you're not already familiar with them.
After you get the bicycle, can you confirm whether a threadless Dahon-style handlepost, w/one-bolt that secures the clamp to the steerer-tube, would work with it? |

A few pics. So far the bike is pretty lightweight, solid, and seems quite decently built. No handlepost flex either. A few items need swapping, but I'll figure out what to do next week, after I ride it a few times. This will be my OFFICIAL exercise bike. The only real issues I've seen with the bike are a scratched quick release on the front wheel (it punctured the thin-ish box), and my magnet to keep the bike held together when folded is actually broken (where to find a replacement???). Really, minor annoyances IMO.

Nice indeed. Great value. Interesting chain stays.
|
That lower rear fork structure is.... different
|
I'll pick up an extra magnet-assembly for you. In the meantime, can you remove the handlepost of the new bicycle and then measure, for me, the amount of steerer-tube that the handlepost clamps onto?

Seems to be a clone - or perhaps homage - of the Dahon Mu design.

See the Dahon (unbraced) design undergoing stress testing here: |

Just guessing here: Oyama used a less strong aluminum alloy and/or a welding process that wasn't as strong for price point reasons vs. the Dahon original design. At some point along the reverse engineering-consumer experience timeline, they realized they needed to add the rear fork (chainstay) braces.

can, are you allowed to post the website where you can look at the products ? Thanks

I just took an 8 mile ride on this baby, with almost constant ocean headwinds, and she was an absolute pleasure to ride. Stiff, responsive, actually geared nicely for my needs. I'm definitely quite impressed with this little gem. And the 70 psi Schwalbe Big Apple tires were so wonderful on the bumps, cracks, and potholes I encountered by the bay. She's a definite keeper.
