Too big? That doesn`t sound right, being as you need less than 1M x 1M, unless the space is very narrow. I haven`t used any of the bikes being discussed, but both the major players in take down bikes can supposedly be packed into a 26 x 26 x 10 (in inches) suitcase, which is a lot less than one meter. I would think that even the 26 inch folders should fit into the space you described. Am I missing something?
