Basic pakiT is about $1300 but if OP is in England, ordering from BF with shipping and customs is not going to work well. However, NWT Bike Fridays do come up for sale over there, I see them on the BF Facebook page and the Yak from time to time. Knocking down a NWT for suitcase travel takes about 20 minutes once you've done it a few times. It's not hard, and there are videos to help with the process. While I do love my pakiT, I would suggest a 20" wheel for most folks in England - the 16" wheels do not love cobblestones and bad streets. Furthermore, it's easier to find 20" tubes/tires than it is 16" (even in the U.S.). And, yes, I know Brommies are 16" and they are English but I also see a LOT of Brommie posts about suspension add-ons, lol.
