Folding mountain bike with horizontal dropouts?
I'm wondering if there is a folding mountain bike out there that has horizontal drop outs.
Thinking of the winter already and I doubt my 20" Dahons will be suitable. Previous winters I rode a non folding mountain bike with a coaster brake. I really like the configuration minus the fact that it didn't fold. I gave away that bike and am now pondering the next winter.
If there is no such beast. Which 20" folder would you guys recommend? I presume winter riding is akin to single track in some cases: very bumpy and a lot of pushing and pulling on the handle bar. I know my 20" Dahons won't work (thanks BF
).

oOo now I feel like a troll .
I've heard you guys and gals talk about the Xootr Swift before--I believe--but must have forgotten. After a Web search I came upone their Web site and it seems like it will suit my needs! Excellent.
