I’ve dipped into this thread here and there.

One thing I noticed was that because the distance between the bottom bracket and the rear hub is a bit shorter than a normal bicycle there can be some kind of resistance in the transmission due to poor chain alignment. Is this a problem? I would run two front chainrings with at least a 58 tooth outer ring.

Hi rickybails, that looks like a really nice set-up, if not a little over-the-top for an aluminium folder. How much does it weigh?

Presumably that’s a carbon seatpost. Does it fit straight in or is some kind of shim, adapter required?

Where did you purchase your wheels, fork and seatpost?

I would only need to fold my bike occasionally for transportation so could I obtain lightweight bolts instead of the quick-release levers? I know this has been discussed. What’s the latest?

I was hoping to get hold of a second hand XS here in the UK for starters but looks as though I could have a long wait.

So, sorry to be lazy but can somebody give me Peter Reich’s latest contact details?

Thank you.
