^Nice bikes! I love the Twentys, used to ride around on one when I was a kid. I wish I still had it. What's the ratio on the singlespeed, considering the small wheels?

Also, this thread has been very interesting to read but it might- if I'm lucky- not be necessary. Met a guy who's selling a basic Dahon five-speed rigid with 20" wheels for $60 yesterday, and if I can snag it that'll be all for my bikes right now (even two is almost too many for my limited living space). I love the look of the portable small-wheelers though.

There seems to be a lot of buzz for folders/small wheels on one end, and "big-wheeled" (29") ATBs in the UK but not so much in the USA. I like both kinds of bikes but no-one around here owns anything but kid's bikes, 700c road bikes, or 26" MTBs- is there some kind of group for portable and/or big wheeled bike owners around here in TX?
