Can't take them seriously after Twenty Twelve.

Huh?

This is a proper contractors folding bike. Paid for by the company so double bonus



IF Mode Folding Bike – at last a really cool folding bicycle, at a price… | The Red Ferret Journal

Is it really worth the premium price? The bike is available for £1,500 from here: Pacific IF Mode Folding Bike Only £1,499.99
My only concern is durability. But Taiwan Excellence Silver Award gives me some comfort.

I have one of these and am very happy with it:
Link D8 | Tern Folding Bike and Folding Bicycle Accessories | Singapore

The above bike cost me £375 from Evans. New models are about £400. Folds in about 15 seconds and does the job for commuting. Its pretty agile and while it won't hold its speed on a flat, I've got it up to 32mph downhill before now.

If you want a folding bike with the most compact fold, then you're looking at a Brompton but it will cost you twice as much.

A tern won at the last folding bike race at the London Crit: had carbon wheels though but beat all the pimped up bromptons. And the prize was .... a Tern folding bike...

Landrover had one for sale for £150 last summer - so wish I had snapped that up.

A heavily reinforced one?

That would suit me too, not that I'm built like Fatty Arbuckle but I don't fancy some cheap lightweight thing that needs parts replacing every few miles! (More on account of the hassle than the expense, and the inconvenience of the thing actually breaking down while in use)

What model of folding bike would, say, a rich banker or MF ride if the chauffeur had the day off and/or they were over the drink drive limit?

Hello,

I have this as my all year commuter:

Your wheel size is the same: its a Jnr BMX size and a b@gger to get hold of in haste. Anything non-brompton expect a delay on component replacement unless you can find a really good local dahone supplier.

3 years in I am on the 3rd back wheel, 2nd chain set, about 5th brakepad replacment, 2nd set of tires with goo in but only about 3 punctures.

Love the bike though its great fun, folding = under my desk.

Foe that price I'd go brompton; easier when things go wrong.

Your recommendations? This one seems nice and (suspiciously) inexpensive, anything I should know about?
