13 Feb 2013 (Wed) – Resume business 12-8pm.

Team MBS wishes all our patrons a very prosperous and happy Lunar New Year!

After the fireworks, 2013 has started and many things are up!

2013 has started with a bang. 12 days into the year, we see COEs going up, property prices up COE-chart- and news of inflation has forced property chartefforts to try and cool this off. Our govt has not wasted anytime and the recent Property cooling measures drove crowds to grab that last chance to buy a property without getting the new rules that see higher taxes.

January 2013 is proving to be a sizzling month with high profile cases and residents in Punggol East go to the polls in a By election on 16 Jan.

With rising costs in Singapore, everyone works very hard to build up reserves and buffer in case the US or Europe take a bad turn. Life in Singapore is getting tough. No matter what, cycling works up a sweat and burns fat, emits no carbon and allows you to enjoy the beautiful parks and PCNs in Singapore.

That’s why we value and cherish our Sundays and Public Holidays. These are days we do not operate and we rest. I know many customers and patrons wished we do but we need to try and have some work life balance. So here are the public holidays gazetted for Singapore in 2013.

2013 Public HolidaysSo for these days, My Bike Shop MBSsmalloutlets will be closed.

 

 

 

Happy New Year everyone and 2013 looks like its off with a bang!

Hi everyone, it has been a very hectic but enjoyable 2012 serving all your foldable bike needs. Despite some of the tough challenges and feedback, we are grateful for your patronage. Like the Clint Eastwood movie, we dealt with the good, the bad and the ugly situations and yet we strive to work harder and remain positive and just like our favourite jersey :-  PLEASE Don’t Run Over Us(Me)  :)   MBS Jersey

For 2013, first to kickoff, we will have DrHon preorders. DrHon from Dahonbikes North America will be delivering Speed D7a number of 2013 models and bikes and we revisit the Speed D7 Speed D7 2006which has always been our bread and butter model. Since 2006 when we first started reselling foldable bikes (see pic on left and right) at Jalan Mas Puteh, the Speed D7 has always been a steady model with design and parts that last. We still see it being used today by folks in Singapore. See the review Togoparts review of the original Speed D7 done in 2006 http://www.togoparts.com/articles/article.php?artid=166&pageid=2

DrHon Preorders

Preorder the Speed D7 at S$599 RRP is S$650 by the 15 Jan 2013.  The Speed D7 is a true gem speedD7_unfolded_large_frostin when it comes to value and performance, making it a firm favorite in the Dahon lineup. Hand-welded and featuring a fast-shifting Neos derailleur with wide gear range, the Speed is a perfect companion for city riding. Get a proven folder with a much better front handlepost joint.

Dahon from Taiwan

Dahon “eco” series. We introduced a Vitesse D7e S$699 and we sold out pretty fast and we have since reordered alot more, even expanding the 7 speeds to 18 speeds; Vitesse D18e (Expected S$11XX). Dahon from Taiwan will be another high quality foldable bike design with hinges and parts catering to the value conscious. We have yet to get pictures of the bikes BUT according to the Distributor, its on its way and should also arrive end Jan 2013.

20120911_153225

2013 promises to be really exciting in the 18 speed and 7 speed category from Dahon Taiwan based on the “eco” concept, we will be introducing the Vitesse D7e and Vitesse D18e. The new Dahon Vitesse D7e and D18e adopts the new FBL hinge. For those who think they got a better deal elsewhere, please look at the joint.  

It’s a design departing from the entry level bikes that are essentially 2 flat flanges locked together.  The 2013 eco versions of the Vitesse D7e and Vitesse D18e will have the improved FBLjoint.

And more from our other brands: Tyrell, Alex Moulton, MIT Cycles, Bike Friday, all of them have something up their sleeves so to speak TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly-Posterfrom what we gathered from our discussions.

So looks you are going to be spoilt for choice!

Happy 2013 New Year everyone from the team at My Bike Shop. Ride safe and buy safe!
