Folders! Foldable bicycles, minivelos and demontables

[synchronicity]

Do you see those ever in Australia?

Never.

Searching for Mitutoyo and bicycles a bit. It doesn't seem they ever made anything else but the folder, or should I say slider? They do make a spoke tension meter though.

A lot of deets here https://onlinebicyclemuseum.co.uk/1960s-mitutoyo-japanese-folding-bicycle/

Here's my 2008 Pacific Reach with Campag 11spd, deep section carbon 451 rims, Rotor chainrings, front and rear 'suspension'.

It's not a fast, everyday fold, since the shock have to be be unhitched and the rear end swung under.
QR seatpost and stem/bars, remove the front wheel and turn the fork 180°.

...Yes, I did fit the chain, front brake and cables after the photo.

You have a lot to answer for. As said way upthread, I was on the hunt for a folder for easy train-assisted touring in Europe.
Won a Reach last night on eBay.

I'll have to add a thread when it arrives.

I rather like the Clip, the front and rear wheels clamp together folded and from the seat tube comes a little stand, for folded and unfolded use. The halfway does the same, but I prefer the look of the Clip.
