Eventually, I've been able to get the Montague Paratrooper Pro (yesterday), as second choice, though first would have been the Tern Node D7i, which is not available in India. Apparently, not as sturdy from the threads I've read... Wish I'd gotten on here (Bike Forum) before I ordered my bike.
I should be a happy puppy, but I'm not... I have a query on the folding bikes forum, if you could clarify doubts, please.
Thanks
I am a 55 year old woman in Bombay, India...
I wanted something rugged to tour on, hence the choice.
I will not be be flying over bumps and humps. I wondered if I've bitten off more than I can chew... the peddling seems a trifle high - luckily I am still pretty flexible !
I cannot return the bike. So I've come to terms with that, not to mention it does ride rather splendidly, with stock components.
I will be taking it for some adjustments to a bike store tomorrow but i was wondering...
WOULD YOU GUYS HAVE ANY ADVICE ON MAKING MY 'MONTY PP', cheeky deville compatible??
Thanx so very much!
