Thanks for the excellent link. However, while I could use 26-36-48 for Chainwheels, for the Cogs parameter, I didn't find the 7/14-28 that is apparently used by the non-folding bike I use daily.

I guess you meant "There are many other folding bikes". Although I have the money to buy a Brompton, I'm not sure I want to spend so much on a folding bike that I'll only use once in a while on week-ends outside the city. Besides, how fast can 16" wheelers go on flat land?

Thanks for the tip. I'll look at the aluminum-built bikes.

Money is not a problem, but it's just that I don't like spending a lot for stuff I don't use often.
