FORWARD Valencia 1.0 (2015)

Advantages: Price, appearance, folding mechanism, suitable and M and F - no problem.

Disadvantages: I did not like that the protection of the chain - plastic. The pump is about nothing, it is see. short, you will inflate them too long.

Comment: Outwardly, it seems to be adolescent, but only when it is large stands next to the big brothers, in fact, quite a comfortable size. To my height (169 cm) is normal. But a taller person up to 185 cm for sure, will be able to ride if necessary and willing. To me such a size of a bicycle is dictated by an apartment in the Khrushchev, without a balcony.

Speed ​​is one, but I wanted it, because I consider the bike as an element of training. I do not need to make it easy to drive. Plus, in my opinion, the simpler, the more reliable.

Convenient and safe folding mechanism. However, it is not clear how to keep it in this position. On one side, the wing is not an option, it will bend, on the other, the chain protection mount, you need to be careful. Either somehow fix in the middle position, or hang.

Rubber handles - comfortable.

Today dashed off about 3km. With unaccustomed tired legs - what we need)
Feelings are great. Before that, the last time I rode a bike about 17 years ago and always dreamed that I would buy a bicycle. The dream came true. I'm happy. Forward is not disappointed.

P.S. If something is noticed during the operation - I will unsubscribe here.
UPD 03-08-15 I was driving down the hill, I started to add gas, the chain went off. I didn’t accelerate well, it wouldn’t be fun)) I understand that the chain stretched out, although I noticed a strange sound during acceleration just for 2 months of operation, maybe the wheel didn’t stand exactly, or the chain tension was not very good. Be careful to check the circuit.
UPD.03-06-18 Pull the rear wheel away - no problem with the chain. Bicycle - fire!

Advantages: One program, nothing needs to be set up and nothing to break.

Disadvantages: It is hard to drive uphill and you will not accelerate in a straight line, since there is only one gear.

Comment: What other mountain hardtail? What is the racing frame? What are you talking about? Apparently the "wrong address." This is the most common cheap bike for a quiet ride on asphalt and for convenient storage - not for nothing, because the frame is foldable so that it does not take up much space in the corridor. How much is - such and opportunities. Naturally you can’t put any records on it and you’ll stop at the curbs, but it will take your fifth point to the place. Over the past and this season, special problems are not delivered. I do not advise you to keep it in the winter on the balcony under the snow - rust may appear. Despite the compact appearance for an adult is quite suitable.

Advantages: Foldable, the seat is adjustable, there is a trunk

Disadvantages: One speed, poor depreciation.

Comment: Bought this bike last summer. Rolled all summer, the beginning of autumn, and now got it and I think that we should look for a replacement. The bike, in general, is quite good, it is very convenient to fold. Comes with a pump. The seat is adjustable, there is a trunk. But one speed ... For me, this is a big minus. Depreciation is also far from super. "Four" with tension.
