I still do want to do that perhaps next month.

I'm looking at these two bikes:

Hunter - SOLOROCK 20" 7 Speed Aluminum Folding Bike - Xmas Special | SoloRock Sports & Appliances

Flash - SOLOROCK 20" 18 Speed Aluminum Folding Bike - Xmas Special | SoloRock Sports & Appliances

But hey, I got an upgrade for the same money on this 16 inch so I shouldn't complain.

Hey Ed

I'm kinda skeptical on the specs they have. The hunter is fully loaded with rack and fenders while the flash is more stripped down and probably better parts on there. Yet on the weight section they are both 16KG?? I was thinking for double the price you would be at least a little less on the weight. at that price might as well spend a bit more and put a giant chainring on your swift for fun then you'll be at least matching up to their gear inches. but you might have to change the tires from the standard kenda's for better efficiency.maybe some comets or marathon racers

Marathon Racer, 40-305, Reflex,Wire | Schwalbe North America

that would be fun to make your lil bike run more efficient.
