Question for those who have Folderitis: How Many Folders You Got
 

hi all,

maybe a repeat of a previous question - but just curious (and to justify my folderitis also), what is the norm for people who have folderitis on the number of folders they have ? to start with - within a span of 4 months 1 acquired 4 folders. tokyo (my very first folder and the reason why i got hooked on folders), A-bike, dahon boardwalk D6 and Dahon boardwalk D7 (which i am currently upgrading). now i am trying to convince my wife that i really need to buy a carryme for my multi modal commute.

thanks,
vic

In order of owning:

Kent Ultralite
Dahon Piccolo
Brompton M6L
Moulton Speed 4 (well, not really a folder, but still a SWB)

I totally totally want a Dahon Mu frame to upgrade into a super roadie dropper...but that's for when I actually have the strength and stamina to drop roadies. Moar training!!!

dahon vitesse D7 ... currently in the process of becoming a super P18

raleigh twenty ... just acquired and needing some TLC.

when you say super P18 - what upgrades are you doing ?

drop bars, campy ergo shifters, 9x2 shimano drive train, etc.
shimagnolo setup.

nice...why not bullhorn for ease of folding ? i am doing the same thing with my D7. i already upgraded the seat to Pro SR1, changed the crankset to shimano 105, BB to a shimano hollowtech II. on order - shimano RD and FD, shimano v brake/shifter combo, profile design T2 wing handlebar. thinking of upgrading the wheels also. it depends as i might just order from thor....

thanks,
vic

how's the restoration coming along ??? any new pics ?

thanks,
vic

more hand positions.

I rarely have to fold it up all the way, and I think I figured out how to fold it with drop bars installed.

Dahon Helios and Carryme.

Giant Halfway (bad hinge, will sell or trade as parts bike)
Bike Friday Tikit (Pinky Tuscadero!)

1 - Birdy Silver, 2 - Scooma 16er (in pieces)... I had another two... A DT FS, and china town 16er, but no longer have them...

this is a filthy habit... I'm trying to quit...

though I keep looking for a Brompton... and that DT mini is starting to look really really good... HELP!

sorry. i tried asking for help, too but no luck. this folderitis thing is so contagious......

If money were no object, I would gladly add a few more to my stable.

just got ,a dahon curve + 2 mezzos that makes three folders.

I have owned about a dozen up to now.

Just stripped all the components off the frame today (while I'm taking a "mental health holiday" from school/lab, lol). Will get pics of it once I clean off all the rust.

Xootr Swift and now a Carryme

Airnimal Rhino 20"
Ritchey Breakaway cross 700c
Dahon Smooth hound 20"
Moulton TSR30 20"
Brompton S6E-X 16" (on order)

Too many I think, but each is good at a particular job.

I bought 3 in the last 12 month.
Dahon Mu XL, Dahon Cadenza 8 and the last that cause big dent to the wallet Ritchey Breakaway Titanium/Carbon Road.

Dahon Jetstream XP
Dahon Speed P8
Dahon Speed TR
Dahon Speed TT
Ignio Folder (kids bike)

you're a real dahon guy, hah....i really like your Speed TR, though...

I bought all these in less than a year:

1 Dahon Speed D7
1 Kent Magnesium Folder
2 Dahon Curve D3
2 Dahon Curve SL
1 Pacific CarryMe
1 Downtube Mini
1 Downtube Mini Capreo
1 Dahon Vitesse D7HG
1 Dahon Jetstream
1 Xootr Swift

Now I only have 1 Curve D3 and 1 Xootr Swift. Trying not to get a Hammerhead.

Two but they barely qualify as folders: 1968 Raleigh Compact RSW and a 1971 Raleigh Twenty. I am saving and shopping for another one, looks like it most likely will be a custom Season Tikit. Having a pedal to saddle dimension in the 38" range limits my choices. Wanting IGH, dyno hub and other goodies limits it even more.:p

Strida 2 ---a classic! Anybody interested? The brakes are mushy but otherwise it's good to go.
