Folding Bike

It's been ages I have not update this blog. Lately I've been busy with my PhD work, I spent most of my time in High Voltage Laboratory. Anyhoo, I got really excited stuff to share with you all, I just bought a second hand Brompton Folding Bike a month ago from Ebay at a bargain price. Generally, the bike price is around £700 brand new but will cost more when customise and can cost up to £1500.  However I managed to get it around £500 considered the original price is around £900.

I did asked my dear friend Firdaus to collect the bike for me then two weeks later me and my beloved wife went to London. It is not bad though, carried the bike from London back to Cardiff due to it brilliant engineering design I managed to carried it from Elephant and Castle tube station to Victoria Coach station with out much problem. The bike weight is around 10Kg hence can be considered quite light.   

Here, the bike specifications:

Model: M6L

Gear Speed: 6

Color: White

Other: Carrier, rear and front lamp with dynamo.

I'm really glad bought this bike and my wife loved it too. Now my journey to school is much  faster and on the weekend my wife ride it while I jog. Overall it can be said worth the money and great investment because I still can get my money back if I sell it on Ebay. I did not make any video review on the bike yet but here few photos and video sample from youtube...Enjoy...

Her first Cardiff Car Boot Sale

My wife always went to car boot sale when she was a student in Bristol, so she missed her old day of getting cheap stuff. That the main reason she nagging me all the time to show her Cardiff car boot sale location. In contrast, I hate car boot sale for the last 6 year or so, I only went less than 10 times to car boot sale. My opinion on car boot is people want to bin junk so what I will buy is a others people junk. However, I do agree sometimes you will get good stuff but it is require a regular visit to car boot which can cause an impulse spending. 

Last 2 week her wish is granted , a friend of mine offer us to tag along to car boot. My wife really excited and we went to Splott and Bessemer car boot sale. I prefer Bessemer compared to Splott car boot sale area because it is more bigger and have a lot of seller. Unfortunately, we only bought a set of utensils...:) because every time she like something I just not agree with her, that switch off her mood a little bit..lol.

Then after car boot we went to Global warehouse store which sell food but in bulk quantity. Here, I splash my cash buying a lot of dry and packing food for a winter stock..lol just joking. The food price is cheap compare to normal shop like a bag of 5kg long grain rice is £1 cheaper compared to Masaala Bazar. After I thought we done for today, suddenly my mate told me that their going to Asda. So we just head there and bought some fish. Here, a picture of friendly fish monger with his fish collection in store..lol Overall, we have really great day  and I want to thanks to Fadzly and his wife for this half day out event. Cheers guys! By the way no more car boot for me...lol
