thanks island hopper,
i do really like the rhinos design but Im 6' 2 and like a comfortable more upright position for touring. thus i dont think the airnimal is for me.
and yes it is akward taking the bike apart but much more annoying travelling with a none folding bicycle, the charges being at the top of my list. anyway i have lots of time and enjoy build bikes/dismantleing

(bike geek i know)
