Oh, sorry

Not on top of things today at the moment

I don’t know the name but like the yellow one that was botm a while ago, with the weird flex mechanism

Space frame, these oldies are called F frames. Would love a space frame, top of the range is £18k

I wonder if there's people that do other forms of cycling than city commute with public transport that use folders as their main form of transportation. Couldn't imagine going long distance on one.

Ah yes I like that channel. Didn't see the folder stuff but have enjoyed a lot of his experimentation with components, he's largely the reason why I went with friction shifters on the Kocmo instead of going SS

I have done longer distances on the Dahon Jack. It has 26" wheels. My dad has done 1000s of miles on it
