I just got a 16" "BFS"
not the quickest SWB-OSS but goes in my collection of clown bikes at the fore.
Well geared and ballanced with good handling and a functional fold
BF were never the most compact, just good bikes as a rule. Stiff ,heavy and well handling in the compromises foldies must make
Very pleased with this hybrid of my favored styles: foldies and cumbies
There is a reason that upright DF bikes dominate, it's just optimization
foldies and cumbies optimize certain elements and seek their own balance, this one is exceedingly well engineered
Weight, cost, stiffness, size/ergos all have to be thought through
This one is a joy.
