Light fast minivelo?.. Thinking Tyrell
So currently I have a Dahon Mu LT 11 which is great... When it doesn't need maintenance. At the moment I cant figure out how to stop the stupid thing from making loud snapping sounds in quick succession. I have put grease all over the main folding hinge, all over the handle stem fold (took that totally apart), cant find a solution. So I am looking at a non folding minivelo and pillaging the Dahon for parts (where are fairly top of the line).
My first criteria is weight (want the whole bike under 7KG), second is looks.
Is there anything better than a Tyrell CSI? There are the titanium Tyrells but they are heavier from what I can work out and I suspect the carbon on the CSI would give a better ride. I like Moultons but they seem quite heavy, same for the Kimoris (and both I suspect far more fragile).
Anything else to consider? I actually didn't like Tyrells at fist, thought they looked weird but after I keep seeing them around they have grown on me.
