blimey - I guess if you get the front wheel stolen then you could nick a new one from the bottom of your sofa.

Its just part of the folding frame, afaik.

This would be the time for a suspension, at least put something in the post.

Just watched that.

Quite like the look of it :D lol definately not for me as im too heavy for it :D lol.

But quite cool. Nice. Liking the way it fits in the gap for your legs on the train, as opposed to requiring a huge chunk of space as most folders do.

I was riding in Cromford a few years back with a bunch of mates, and one of them had borrowed a fold up bike.

... as he went down the incline at a rediculous speed (only had basic U-brakes on it) he rode over a fair few nasty roots and the bike folded up on him mid decent !!
