Local bike shop and bike parts supplier extraordinaire Gee Hin Chan held a roadshow at their Waterloo location to officially release their newest minivelo models into the local Singaporean market.
There were three models out, but I didn’t pay any attention to the mixie (the minivelo fixie) because… well, I can’t cycle fix. LOL. This guy does though. Here he is doing trackstands.
Tokyobikes launched their minivelo model, the Tokyobike 20. Made from chromo-steel with a standard frame size of 45cm, it’s kitted out with Shimano 8speed cassette. It weighs around 11kg. Retails at S$875.
The other model available is the Gios Mignon, available in two frame sizes, 47 and 51. Also made from steel/chromo and kitted with 8 speeds. Retails at just under a thousand Singapore dollars.
Nice, but I don’t like the over branding.
Gee Hin Chan has a pretty big space. I think they occupy four stalls.
Ro tries out the Mignon.
So does Okky.
While both minivelos were nice, none of them really called out to me. I can’t remember which bike it was, but it didn’t have mounts for racks or fenders.
What I did like was this Bianchi Pista Sei Giorni. If I had to get myself a full sized bike, I’d want it to be lighter than my folding bikes, right? Too bad this one is a fix.
