Phatatude- I'm in DC right now, and yes, this is my first folder. I attached a picture of the bike as I got it, I've since cleaned it up a little bit, it has almost no rust anywhere. It has a 3 speed grip shifter, which I haven't seen elsewhere.

That's another reason I don't want to do anything to the frame

Will any 90mm front hub work? What did you do for the rear hub?
I'm not opposed to using the original hubs, though, since it's not an irreversible alteration.
Where did you get the continentals from? I use koolstops on my cross bike and they're great.
Did you get the 1 1/8 or 1 3/8 rims?

I think I'll go ahead and try the 28's then, what do you think about reusing the old spokes?
