The Montague Paratrooper is actually a really stout folder but its weighs about 35lbs. As far as folders go it can probably cover the most terrain. The Hummer version is exactly the same as the Paratrooper only add flashy stickers and a couple hundred to the price tag. I carried a Paratrooper in my semi truck for a while because I wanted a durable bike but needed to keep it in me sleeper. And to the person that said that they run $400; try $645 as the cheapest price I could find on a new Paratrooper.
In closing.. ..it might be 'ugly' but find me another folder that a 300lb+ person can jump.

You've got it all wrong, a penny farthing is the way to go. If you get caught, you can plea insanity, if you die in the explosion, at least you died looking like an asshat.

The same model that they use in Iraq.
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- At least 24 Iraqi police officers and police recruits were killed when a suicide bomber riding on a bicycle exploded at an Iraqi police base in central Baquba Monday morning, an Interior Ministry official said.
Of course the Bush administration with the assistance of Halliburton have designed the perfect Counter Terrorism Bike pursuit vehicle.

I would totally use the new Orbea Ordu. That thing has stealth technology. Good luck finding me on that thing, let alone catching me!
TT bomber FTW!

Just to be almost serious here for a moment.....
That Ross is in real good shape for a bike that was meant to be sold in a department store maybe 25 years ago. Nice enough shape to where I'm guess someone found it in a box not too long ago. If I were the feds I'd start looking at old eBay auctions. If I wanted (for some insane reason like throwing bombs at government offices) a department store bike that was still in ridable condition that's where I'd look for it.
Assuming this site is being monitored
the boys in blue can thank me for the tip.

Greenfield is not as cool as Brattleboro but Incline is the happening spot in the area for cyclist and athletes. Throughout the week they have dozens of hard core cyclist and tri athletes working out there. Place has a great vibe. If you get a chance while the weather is still crappy you should sign up for one of there weekend course rides.

Best terrorist/bomber bike?
My vote is for the tricycle.
Bigger bomb load. It's a bomber.
Duh.
And you're all wrong: that lever in the top (only) tube in the 'Hummer'
bike frame adjusts the spring pre-load of the rear shock.
I betcha that that shock uses a total-loss oiling system....
