Giant MR folding bicycle

Hi all,

I have not seen anybody reporting on the MR series of Giant bicycles. And that is exactly the bicycle I ride:

It uses 24" wheels on an aluminum frame. Total weight, 10.3 kg (nominal). The wheel base is almost 1 meter: 0.966 m.

I think the riding position is very good. A quite efficient roadie! The MR-4F model comes with flat bars.



On the negative side, folding is not always that easy, and the bag is not cheap (but required to ride the train in Japan with a bicycle).




Does anybody out there use any of the MR series?

Take care out there!
