I like my downtube NS, I think 2007 model. However, when I fold it, it is still quite large/heavy so I can't lift it up to stove it away on SEPTA trains in Philly. Few times during peak hours, I was denied boarding and despite nice e-mails from SEPTA apologizing for it, it does not help that I lost an hour. So I am thinking of switching to a smaller bike, either the 16" mini downtube (I have to see if Yan would take in my bike for a decent price, or I have to sell it-- I can drive to his store in Philly) or something even smaler and still affordable, perhaps E-Z-Pack folding bike (http://ridethisbike.com/products/Sdwndr/E-Z-Pack-folding-bike.htm) but I do not know if it is any good.
Ofcourse, I would rather not do either of these, I like my bike, I like its size etc. Is there a quick way of hiding it, i.e. some bag that I can carry with me , put the bike and turn it into a luggage. The give away bag is not of much use. The one downtube sells, does not look like something I can carry with me easily.
