Hi everyone, this is my first post here.

I'm looking at this KHS F20r (http://www.khsbicycles.com/09_F20r_07.htm) model, but the problem is I Cant find any KHS folding bike dealer in Conneticut.

Can anyone tell me where to buy this F20r model in CT? (I can also drive to west MA).
or
Is there any online store that sells this model?

Well, there's this one that was just listed in the Best of Craigslist thread...

Other than that, I have no idea. It seems to be a bike that you have to call around on. Your best bet for a brand new one is to find a KHS bike shop and ask them to order it for you. Here's a list of KHS dealers in CT...

Good luck!

Actually, now that I look more closely, I don't believe the F20R is available in the US. You may have to find a place in Asia that is willing to ship it to you.

Yes, and a further search revealed that it was only available as special order. If you look at the KHS US website, it isn't listed with the other folders. Call your local KHS dealers and tell them to call their distributor to see if any more are available.

looks like a great bike but have not heard a great deal about them, they look like they cost alot. try searching craigslist, ebay and gumtree and even google to find out info about them.

Also, this thread sheds some light on the plight of the F20-R in North America.

I would think you'll be able to find a used one in Taiwan more easily than you can find a new or used one in the US.
