Those are some great-looking bikes. If you ever fall into a big pile of cash, you can get a Velo-Orange Neutrino.

Not nearly enough adventure nipples, but a fine-looking bike.

Ah yes. That’s what I wanted but many $$$$. I had this built instead. Similar but not the same.

Bought this off of local FB marketplace, $150.
Put on front rack, old titanium seatpost in my basement, spare cranks from my ebike; made it significantly lighter. https://i.imgur.com/pt1dgdP.jpg https://i.imgur.com/hO1JPSU.jpg |
Just Love Folding Bikes!
Really nice setup!
Folding bikes are awesome! I had 3 models (a Dahon 20", a 16" with no brand, and now a modified Brompton 18") and can't say enough about their versatility. Interesting choice this seatpost with, I think, 10mm seatback.

Did some upgrades for Christmas. New flared gravel style bar with a much shallower drop than my old bar, new bar tape, and new Ultegra shifters / GRX derailleur to replace the Sensah SRX that I was previously running. |
Found this frame abandoned with everything stripped off and built it up from my parts bin. Whoever stripped it took everything but the frame for some inexplicable reason. A very chill beater/grocery getter that I don't have to baby or care too much about.

1974 Raleigh International started from a frameset which I painted by hand. Here it is yesterday on my commute along the Hudson River in NYC.
3x10 drivetrain dynamo lights rack and basket fenders commuter pedals with SPD on one side https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...cf2131d8c.jpeg I use the bike for commuting, errands, and fun rides. |
My 1990 Cannondale ST600 in the largest size they made of this model at the time, 25 inch (63.5cm). Got it about a year ago with all original components and have since switched out most of the components. Has 700c wheels instead of 27 inch, bumped up from 7 speed to 8 speed, early STI levers instead of downtube shifters, bars, stem, etc. Through sheer coincidence, it turns out my dad had the matching Topeak rack with their quick rack system to match the used Topeak bag I bought a few years earlier. I'm digging the ability to quickly pop the bag off when I need to lock it up somewhere and slide it back on. When I'm grocery shopping, I swap the bag out for a large set of panniers that can carry a good weeks worth of food.
It gets used to commute to and from work as well as run errands in town. This is how it looks right now at work. Despite how clean it looks, it does get ridden very regularly in conditions up to a light drizzle. If it's full on raining, I'll either walk or drive. Riding in the rain sucks and maintaining bikes with exposed drivetrains that regularly see the rain is rather annoying. One of these days I'll have something with disc brakes and an internally geared hub. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...5eaacce16.jpeg |

Not long after my previous picture was posted, realized that the Giant frame I was using was really starting to wear out (nearly 13 years old and with over 40000km) so decided to buy a replacement frame and move all my parts over to it. This is the result. I think it looks great, and it rides great as well. |
Wow...beautiful bikes!
I just love "mini-velos" and folding bikes! They're super versatile! Could you please tell us a little bit more about the first bike? I think I've never seen this frameset before...gorgeous! Thanks buddy! Tailwinds!

Here is the updated commuter bike.
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...055252a23.jpeg and this the one l ll be using when the snow arrives. It has studded tires and 7 speed Shimano IGH. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...72112e93e.jpeg |
Hi, It's a Lombardo from around 2013. Search that name in the folding bike forum. There are a few threads there about it. Thanks

It's not an e-bike, no battery. It runs on muscles feed by protein.:)

I'm up in the country this weekend. I needed a reason to get outside so I rode to buy groceries instead of driving. It's hilly up here compared with Manhattan!
It was a satisfying ride. I like doing things under my own power. 1971 Raleigh Super Course with nothing original except brake calipers and headset. Dynamo powered lights, fenders, rack, etc. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...6e212f76a.jpeg |
