Folders! Foldable bicycles, minivelos and demontables

[bikeworkshop]

Surprising how little rare quality folders are worth as a % of retail, compared to Brompton.
Oh and how little they weight too
So although I was high bidder under 400, I can fix it for less, and they are almost 2k new.

front hose wouldn't be an issue, rear I'd put a spiral guide round at the pivot to stop it bending to tightly.

I'm thinking hydro front, mechanical rear.
Unusual, I know,
As wierd as using a campag chainset with shimano rear cassette

Hmm
Am I exempt from being a Mahoosive Dork because I have a Bus Pass?

no worse than mechanical front, V brake rear (remember those days?)

sooo, take something that folds and is easy to carry and add wheels in the wrong orientation to make it easy to drag behind you? I'd be more interested if it had suitcase style wheels and the trailer wheels came off.

edit: damn it, that's exactly what it does. OK, I forgive you now Airnimal.

The busses around the Peak District have a full size bike rack at the rear.. @bikeworkshop ..they're large enough for 4 or 5 bikes, so you and a few friends can just strap your bike up at the rear, hop on the bus, hop off, collect your bike and ride off on your merry way.. very progressive!

I’ve only ever seen one or two novo’s .. but saying that, I’m only out in the Peaks on Sunday when there aren’t many busses running and I’m only on the road for short sections.
