This build is fantastic. What other advancements can be added to your Birdy since the 4 years ago when you made this video? Of course, I keep thinking about the ultimate Brompton T-Line. Does Birdy make a bike that's comparable to the T-Line? Does Birdy make a bike that's nearly as lightweight and compact? Thank you.
Awesome,.....question from Spain....eternal question,I have doubt between brompton ml6 raw lacquer or birdy touring.....,...your birdy is other level....beatiful
Damn! I thought I’m matured now and no poisoning can affect me like how photography used to be the graveyard of my wallet. I have a love/hate relationship with your Birdy videos. Haha! I like your smooth presentation. Thank you for the hard work in editing :)
Hi Jamie, can provide a summary of what upgrades are done in this stage 1. I'm new & abt to collect my ride soon & keen to do some upgrades. Interesting video u hv made. 👍
Jamie, you have a very nice folding bike...thanks for sharing it on video.... i didn't get the brand name of the lights you're using (that's an interesting one)...
Hi Jamie, nice Birdy you have there. I was just wondering if you have ever tried a Moulton bike in Singapore. I live in Australia and am deciding between a Moulton bike or a Birdy. I don't need the folding feature, just like small wheeled bicycles but choice is limited in Australia. I would like to do longer rides up to 100 km or so with some luggage attached is some kind of day bag. Looking forward to your reply, cheers from Mike
Birdy released a “Rohloff” edition thats specifically catered for really long rides..the hub doesn’t require much servicing. This could be well suited for what you need. Most small wheeled bicycles are foldable in nature so I reckon that’s something of a standard for most manufacturers. Also, I have never tried a Moulton bike, will go look it up. Cheers!
I understand you have already changed to a carbon wheelset, but just to let you know that the rotor on your old front wheel was installed wrongly because the rotation direction is not right.
Hi, do u think is it better or cheaper to get r20 model directly or get cheaper city model and slowly upgrade to 20inch and other components slowly? Thanks.
Hi Jamie. I liked the placement of your fidlock bottle. Would you mind sharing how you did it as I noticed that there are no straps when you purchase this. Thanks a lot.
All these upgrades you did to your bike will cause you a lot. You should just get a Tyrell FSX or a Tern Verge X series. Both are superior bikes by a long shot.
I have owned 3 bromptons, two terns and lots of other foldies for the last 20 years, mod it to the core, race it and even brought it to overseas to like a dozen countries/terrains and was so in love with them until i tried a Birdy last year. I have been riding Hardcore since the 70s and cycling pretty much is my life. The solidified frame structure and steadfast rigid frame make it the best folding bike i ever ridden. The speed & solidity a Birdy produce while sprinting is undeniably finest & greatest. Bought myself one and ride it ever since. It’s been 18 months and all i can say is, If it aint’ a Birdy, it is nothing. So burn up and get yourself a Birdy. Beyond doubt, it is The Best Folding Bike On The Planet.
@@kerdak Your sharing is useful to me. Thank you. In the 90s, I was into cycling around the island on my mountain bike. Then in my adulthood I stopped due to studies, pursuing a career etc. A couple of years ago, I wanted to start cycling again and I had the intention to get a Tern Verge X..can’t remember which X but it was out of stock. While waiting for the stock to arrive, I got deep vein thrombosis on my leg and spent the next few years nursing a stiff and sore leg. Fast forward to last year, I tried my friend’s Brompton and fell down stupidly due to my slow, lethargic leg. I notice recently that my leg is much better now so I tried another friend’s Tern and fell down stupidly again. I don’t care as it’s time to cycle again and I reckon I’ll just practice and retrain my left leg! I’ve spent the past few days looking at bikes and there are friends who urged me to get a Brompton or Dahon. I do not like both at all. I have set my mind on a Birdy GT but they currently don’t have the colour I want for preorder. So it’s either I select another colour or just wait.
Hi, I noticed that you've removed the chainguard that comes with the Birdy. Do you face any issues with the chain falling out when riding or folding the bike? I'm thinking of upgrading the chain ring but will not be able to install the chainguard back. So wanted to know if this will be an issue. Thanks!
It is not looking too light - the chainset and bottom bracket is much lighter though. I have one at 8.5 kilos and there are some under 8kg with carbon everything.
more tyre choice. Choice for 18" is poor and the best ever race tyres, Primos, have been unavailable for many years now. And without changing the gears, slightly higher gearing.
Nice Birdy!
You have a cool suspension upgrade,would have liked
to hear about it. 🙏👍- also the rollers
Congratulation to your Birdy. Can you please show the suspension working?
Thanks for the video Jamie and Happy National Day!

@@jamieohpa Is your Birdy the R20 or City?
you have very nice birdy bike.. I am your new audience from Abu Dhabi UAE. a birdy bike lover too.
Greetings from Singapore!
Hi Jamie may I know which birdy model u having?
Gorgeous bike!
Thank you sir 🙏
I understand you have already changed to a carbon wheelset, but just to let you know that the rotor on your old front wheel was installed wrongly because the rotation direction is not right.
Yes you are correct. Which was rectified in my current build. Good spot!!
Hi, do u think is it better or cheaper to get r20 model directly or get cheaper city model and slowly upgrade to 20inch and other components slowly? Thanks.
Nice Birdy upgraded! Wondering where can I buy those front and rear suspensions? Thanks!
E-walker.com mate
Hello, how do you fix your front light onto the wheel?
Hi Jamie. I liked the placement of your fidlock bottle. Would you mind sharing how you did it as I noticed that there are no straps when you purchase this. Thanks a lot.
Hi there, I installed a Colorplus holder and mounted the Fidlock. That’s why no straps :)
@@jamieohpa thanks :)
Didnt the r20 came with the shimano 105?
Im dying to have a folding bike for bike travel vlog
Hi Jamie, thanks for the video. May I know where you buy the rear rack roller. It look so cool!
From e-walker :)
Thks for sharing.
Nice idea
Hi jamie, what do you call that attachment that you used to connect the fidlock bottle attachment to your handpost?
You should list down the parts that was upgraded. That will help.
Hi Jamie that bracket that U used for the small wheel rollers U also brought them at E-Walker?
Yes I did.
what’s ur main job?
Hi bro, where i can buy this easy wheel or any address in sg? thks
About to pull the trigger for a birdy... Would you recommend buying from mighty velo the ewalker for upgrade? Or just get a full set from ewalker?
Mighty Velo doesn’t do modifications, prices are pretty competitive so perhaps visit the shops and go with the one that gives you confidence :)
Thoughts on the Rohloff Speedhub?
Tried it, didn’t quite appreciate the additional weight...the fact that it is maintenance free is a plus point for those considering the Rohloff...
Would you say you use the Birdy more than the Brompton?
I certainly do...
Any ideal where can I go custom spray paint birdy ?
E-walker does it
Can you push the bike easily using the rollers? Thanks
Yes, easy but not quite as easy as the brompton.
All these upgrades you did to your bike will cause you a lot. You should just get a Tyrell FSX or a Tern Verge X series. Both are superior bikes by a long shot.

Not at all, take note it needs to be in the smallest cog
@@jamieohpa Thanks!
Where did you installed the 2 wheels ?
E-walker in Singapore
Stage 2 coming up? :)
Certainly
Hi Jamie can I know the weight of your bike now and do you plan to do some weight savings
It is not looking too light - the chainset and bottom bracket is much lighter though. I have one at 8.5 kilos and there are some under 8kg with carbon everything.
Actually i still wonder how is your one wheel now? Do you sold it or keep it?
I still have it :)
Hi Jamie, where did you get the Ridea small wheel rollers? from E-Walker?
Yes from e-walker...
Hi bro can you give me your contact information for the upgrade of the component especially the easy wheel
E-walker.com :)
Can this frame accept 20 inch wheels? I thought only the r range can
Yes, the frames are all the same, I will be uploading as soon as I receive mine :)
just out of curiosity, why the upgrade all the way to ultegra and not 105?
Not much in the performance department...I read that the ultegra is lighter as well.
Any advantages to change the wheel to 20 inch? Thx
more tyre choice. Choice for 18" is poor and the best ever race tyres, Primos, have been unavailable for many years now. And without changing the gears, slightly higher gearing.
