    But it’s an outstanding piece of design that works extremely well for it’s intended purpose. The fold is very, very clever.

    It’s going to get a lot of use 😀

    I have an irrational dislike of folding bikes, but hey a bike is better than a car or worse a scooter!

    No, not off road yet.

    Got it ‘cos it’s:

    a) british
    b) folds small enough not to be a nuisance on the trains

    Aren’t they great?

    I’ve a 2-speed S-type in racing green. Ace thing. 🙂

    And they are mildly off-roadable. I remember seeing pics of them in the RSF Journal.

    Heras was also severely outgunned with gears as he was riding a 2 speed; I claim to be fastest unfolder in the world as I was first out!

    Good one cheesy…

    … though mine is considerably more bling than yawause…..

    I think they’re a great idea if you’ve a need for one.

    I do think you’ll look like a pillock riding it though, no matter how many times I’m told “It’s a design classic!”.

    A mate said “thats not a bike” when we saw one last week…

    Personally I think its great for getting on the train and cycling to work.

    Not cheap either.
