I'm selling my Airnimal Chameleon if you're interested. Email in profile.
Consider a Birdy, I train/bike commuted on an original birdy red for a good while, great wee bike, also folds in 10 seconds . . . My bike was pretty reliable, the only thing I changed in a couple of years use was the twistgrip shifter which I hated, put a thumbshifter on it instead . . . rear mech also got replaced . . . At the time there were limited tyres available but I believe that is much less of an issue now . . .
who said hub gears are not a good idea for a commuter - awa and bile yer heed and stop talking shite eh !
hub gears were BUILT for the commuter - the only other solution that comes close is NAE gears !
lossy but i guess you enjoy cleaning your bike all the time after 10 hour days
So I ended up with a Mu SL - light, quick, an easy folder, and as it was a 2009 model, significantly discounted.
It doesn't feel like a real bike, but it doesn't feel bad at all. And it only weighs 8kg once I swapped out the standard pedals and put some Eggbeaters on.
good to get a discount - welcome to multimodal commuting!
