Just stumble across this, the Koga Miyata Founder-S. Has anyone ever seen or ridden one?

http://www.bicyclemagic.com/product/1735/KOGA_MIYATA_FounderS_Folding

£1000 seems a bit much. Interesting offset front-suspension.

Capreo 9-speed gear. Schwalbe Marathon Racer tyres . A Selle Italia FLX Lady-Leather saddle - What's Lady-Leather!! Quite heavy at 14 kilos.

Koga Miyata mostly make well regarded Tourers.

ive seen it also looks like a stirdy decent bike, price wayyy to steep, i also like the little netting at the back of the bike behind the seat post, although havent heard much about them i just managed to stumble across it on the internet.

also look at the back suspension:

I've actually spotted one on a train station at rotterdam in the Netherlands. It looked very nice, didn't knew they were so high spec'ed and priced until later when I googled it.

i wish that i will see 1 some day :)

take a look at this site, i think its in german but you can still see what the bikes look like, there are some really high speced and cool bikes on it :

Clicking on your link gave me a nasty shock. The first thing I read was 'DIE BROMPTONAUTON!', I thought "I know some people are a bit anti-folders but..", then I remembered it was a German site.

I like the 'Tobike', it's like a regurgitated Moulton.

yeah but what I can't find is a pic of how it folds... anyone help?

yes i like it aswell, i dont know how it folds, anyone know where they are available?

i also like the riese and muller frog, the PBW, swift folder, pacy twenty, both pashleys, di blasi, and the bridgestones
