Hi. I'm new to folding bikes. I've got the chance of a used Xootr Swift and also a Bike Friday NWT. My main use is lunchtime, early morning rides from work. The fold is just to be able to get into the boot (trunk) of my car. I had an RTA last year which means no more commuting to work!

Which would you guys go for ? I'm loosing weight quickly but still 14st 10lbs . Is there a weight limit on the Swift.

I don't need racks etc except day pack and like a nippy ride but comfortable. I'd also like to do some sportive (audax) rides - about 80 to 100 miles. It needs fenders (mudguards) and i'd like to preferably use drop bars or alter the stem if required.

Any advice appreciated. Oh, i'm based in the UK by the way.....
