I already have one in the works to pickup tomorrow. The BF was just too much bike for my needs. I will sell the Halfway if and when I get the bike tomorrow.

With our Black Friday purchase of a second Pocket 8 for use in Vancouver, we now have FIVE folders (See below.)
Also, we now have THREE regular bikes with the inexpensive, U.S.A. made, Huffy 10-speed I found in the weeds across the street last weekend. It's rusty but rideable.
Actually, if we had more $ the wife would like to collect some of the older folders out there. If interest rates get above 1% (like maybe the normal 5% +), maybe we can justify having some fun doing just that.

Wow, I am immune
Just an R20 and Moulton F-series 4 spd.
But then there are the full size bikes.

I have two great ones: Downtube Mini 16 and Dahon Ciao P8.
Expecting a Dahon Classic III next week which I just bought on ebay. Hopefully it's condition is as good as the seller stated. The pictures made it look like good buy for little $$.

I bought a Dahon Mu Ex for performance rides. Famtastic bike.
Mu Sport with fat Big Apples for all purpose rides.
140mm full suspension MTB bike for heavy duty rides - does not get much usage lately.

Hmmm, thread was started back in May '09. At that time I had a grand total of two folders, now I have 5
All are C&V
The current collection contains:
I keep looking at the Dahon Speed TR but can't quite justify pulling the trigger on that one. I still want a compact fold bike for Amtrak and airline travel. Brompton and BF are the leading contenders for that.

All are C&VThe current collection contains:
- 1966 Columbia Commuter III (not a true folder but comes apart for storage)
- 1968 Raleigh Compact RSW
- 1971 Raleigh Twenty
- 1972 Raleigh Twenty
- 199? Dahon? Rolling Rock Promo Bike 26" MTB
