ghastly - why don't, both Dahon and Tern, hire themselves a colour consultant for bikes destined for the european market ?

Oh! I quite liked that one. Is a 2013 Dahon Formula S20 up Sir's alley? It's got disk brakes and matte-black paint.

it's not the bike i dislike, its the colour scheme. oh for a yellow TT or a Mu in that nice silvery blue.

badmother 01-08-13 03:20 PM

Personally I like black and I like single colour bikes. Do not like "Tivoli bikes" at all. The second one looks better than the first one. Agree they should look for advice on the graphics.

My theory is they need to offer something visually "totally different" ever so often to make us feel uncool becouse the other kids have bikes that look totally different from ours.

@ FlowerPedal: You really made me think with that bag of yours. Looked at material and made plans today. I do not have time for that sort of thing now you know, but i want one too..

Room to spare for water bottle, camera, banana, sun-screen, and snub-nose .38 Police Special.

Stays on with bike folded, which is boon to humankind.

A very nice set-up. Now all you need is a fancier saddle! Brown perhaps?

Ta.

Well, the EuroHon 'Connect' saddle is made by WTB and is much more suited to my downstairs bicycling area than previous Dahons. I'll try a ride of longer than say, fifteen minutes and report back. The earlier saddles were only good for 50 minutes, I recall.

Ya. Dr Hon hisself pops round to my place for tea and biscuits every week. I got the .38 Snub-nose Police Special from him in case anyone on a raw lacquer Br*mpt*n turns up. :-)

So you're the woman who caused the rift & inspired Te*n!

What an amazing tern of phrase! Snafu21 has re-Terned with a bang!

snafu21 01-10-13 05:24 AM

... leaving no Tern unstoned. Oh wait! This is a DAHON thread.

Terns is banished.

Get ahead, get a Dahon:

The bag you got looks good. Tell us how it works after you have used it for some time.


Tested the studs today and snapped a few photos of the bag I modifyed, here on my sons folder.

Cripes! Looks cold there. Bag seems very useful. Better to have the weight on the front, they say. Great pix!

Studded tyres; that is SO hard-core.

mulleady 01-11-13 05:01 AM

Lovely set up on bike for winter, nice job indeed! Seems to be getting Snafu's pulse racing haha!

mulleady 01-11-13 08:32 AM

Have you gone for a skinny dip in the lovely ice-cool waters?

is that photo taken at the watercress farm ?

(must be photoshopped, no rain and no pea souper)

snafu21 01-11-13 01:18 PM

Aye, to be sure.

badmother 01-11-13 02:01 PM

A jump back in time. I am still on bags. Think these bags is where I got the idea. Can be used on rear racks but you would not like to have it on the rear rack of a 20" folder in knee deep mud.

Also: Did you see all the great info about front luggage on the Swift thread? http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...olders/page130 scroll down.

snafu21 01-11-13 02:11 PM

Jeepers, I really want that bag.

I really like the X**tr Sw*ft, good looking bike, that. Trubble with that capacious luggage though, is I'd just fill it with crap. :-)

mulleady 01-11-13 02:43 PM

Nice one, looking forward to seeing results!

Diode100 01-12-13 06:08 AM

It's just a shame that you dont have access to the dumpsters of Bulgaria, who knows what you would find there.

You set the bar high with your modified BlueHound of a few years ago, Snafu, going to be a hard one to top !

Diode100 01-12-13 06:29 AM

Nice bike !

that radiator is going to become as famous as the ship in the Amateur Photographer test shots.

mulleady 01-12-13 06:35 AM

Very sexy English-Taiwanese bike! Well done!

Can I see folded?
