you can get a Brompton for about $1,500. i believe.
I think the Tikit is well worth it, even if it means you have to cut some corners elsewhere (like the rent?)
otherwise, my friend Peter has a Dahon speed D7 and rides it 20 miles a day with no real issues.
he agrees the Tikit is a much nicer ride and easier to fold and roll.
He paid $330 for it and had some money left for a brooks flyer
I sold my car and spent 3 grand on my bike.
I think we are both happy.
well being as I just signed a lease on my new apartment and I don't own a car to begin with, I think I have to cut corners on bike spending
I would love to go for the Brompton models, but its just not an option at the moment.
Glad to hear the D7 is doing 20 miles a day with ease. That's what I need. $330 is a great price, did he get it used?
