Great news but it will probably cost around $1500.

Looks nice but wished they included a fork suspension.

The fork does have suspension, just look at the little red thingys next to the dropouts on the fork.

Good catch, i actually thought that was something totally different since I'm so use to a different suspension design.

with that said, this really peaks my interest but i already have a full suspension Downtube. Anyone interested in buying a barely used white Downtube 9FS, lol.

Not sure about TSR but that Moulton stainless frame is very nice.

You would need some fat tyres to keep the BB height or risk pedal strike.

I wonder what "zero momentum" means?

I think in this case they mean there is solid connection between rear wheel and BB.

Pacific Cycles has released the frameset about usd 1500 in Taiwan with some custom components.

$1,500 for the frame set? Nope,... I'd rather purchase a Dahon Clinch,...$2,599.

Way over my price range, but I see they have a shop in Shanghai... Guess I need to swing by the next time I'm in town so I can see a Birdy and a Reach in the flesh.

I'd be interested in buying a Reach frameset instead of a Reach STD bike if I could build a bike with an internal-gear hub (Nexus or Alfine) , as I have been spoiled by my Birdy City.
As the rear folding seems to be the same as the Birdy, I believe it should be doable : am I mistaken ?
Would anybody have any recommendation on how to do it ?

Thanks !
