Folders! Foldable bicycles, minivelos and demontables

[grantoury]

What are the chances of finding a cheapo Moulton "space-frame" thingie these days? Are they very rare?
There's a few on evilbay, but all in the region of a grand.

Slim to none. The older F frame can be found for less.

Yeah, but they don't look the same, do they.
Seem to be surprisingly rare in Scotland too.

Are they 20" or 18" or 16"ers?

 

[grantoury]

The TSR is 20, the AM are smaller I think. 16 or 17

Yes it's foldable...

Giant Downtown. Handlebar doubles as a lock, so it is unrideable when stolen. A very Dutch idea probably.

I've seen a few were a bit of the bike becomes a lock. they are never a good lock and normally not a good bit of bike either because they can't do both things.
it's normally a seat tube though, so it's refreshing to see a handle bar I guess. it's still got a Dutch wheel look on the back wheel and the light isn't internally cabled, so I'm out.

Excluding the lack of front brake and questionable bar/lock I like it!
