OK, I gave in a bought a Challange 20" folding 6gear city bike from Argos in the UK for £74.

I have a MTB that is my main cycle, but you can't take it on public transport in rush hour and as I'll be working in the city (London) more thought a folding bike might fit.

Now I'd love to have got a brompton, or Dahon but can't afford the £100's involved in that - so this cheapie will have to do.

Won't be killing in on mileage and I know performance won't be great...however it is the same weight as a £6000 Dahon so now I'd like some advice on further improvements I can make.

• I'm thinking some quick release pedals will be a start for folding size.
• Next The handlebars don't fold, but can I get either a quick release stem/post or can anyone advise a source for a folding post/stem like the dahon's have?
• Lastly, I think I can lose some weight from the wheels - would more or less any 20" wheel fit?

Sorry for the ignorant questions...I have searched but there's a lot of parts out there to choose from!

Assembled the bike sunday, not rode it properly yet due to adverse weather in UK
