Are you very tall? Above 6,3 ft? Then Dahons do not fit well, that's true.
Still though, the SL is, of course, different from the P8.
here it is only the handlepost which you can exchange if you like.
The Llama is designed to accept 54mm *knobbies*. It can handle little Big Apples for sure.
Oh, thx, good to know.
The tikit can get to 8kg (17.63 pounds) but it ain't cheap. A basic fixed pocket rocket starts at 20 pounds so you can much more easily get to 8k from there.
yes, I would like to know why the Tikit frame is so much heavier that the Pocket Rocket. But only the Tikit has URT and track ends to suit for singlespeed.
Oh sure, there's flex in the seatpost under stress of course, given its length, like most folders. But the triangle proper is pretty solid.
Actually I am expecting some extra flex in the lower part of the seatpost when the rear is pressing it and then travels upwards some mm. I think this is why BF has constructed it that way instead of connecting the rear directly to the main tube (as on their other models).
