My tennis racquets

I still play tennis with my tennis meetup group at least twice a week.

My favourite tennis racquet still remains the Wilson Ncode 16x19 six-one Tour strung with Gammagut or Prince synthetic gut at 55 pounds. Have been using this racquet for several years already, since it first was introduced.

I also have a Babolat Aerodrive+ racquet which I use occasionally, whenever I feel a little lazy with my swing or when I want more power with less control.

Folding Bikes

I am now into folding bicycles. Have a red Dahon D7 Vitesse for a couple of years already, and am now looking for a Brompton 3-speed that is not too expensive.

The Dahon is made of aluminum, has 20" wheels and weighs 26 pounds. I was told that in Singapore the Brompton titanium models have a 9 month waiting list and probably cost thousands of dollars.
