Considering buying a Origami Crane 8 for travel
Hi everyone, I have been lurking/gleaning information about folders from this forum. It has been very helpful!
I want your advice:
My husband and I would like to buy a couple of bikes for a trip to Europe next year (Several months).
While searching for a way to take bikes on airplanes, I found posts on the Origami Crane 8, and its ability to fit in suitcases (with some disassembly)
When looking for a bike, I wanted:
-Affordable (I can't spend too much $$$$. $500 is my upper limit)
-Small folding dimensions
-As lightweight as possible
-Rides well/No serious defects
-Able to handle many different types of terrain (mostly paved city roads, but just in case).
I found the Crane 8 on Amazon for $399, which is perfect! But before I go through with it, I wanted to hear from others who may have the bike?
I don't have a way to test the bike... but I am not particular about my ride (even uncomfortable rides) if it saves me money! Thanks guys!
