Interesting!

Can you wheel it while folded?

Ok, these last 2 bikes are quite interesting.

Bump... Too good to lay dormant.

No more interesting bikes as of 2017?

New version of SU18 bike from Belarus. Video explaining all upgrades, it's in Russian though. Designers still tries to find a way to finance mass production.

What's with Global Down Syndrome Foundation ribbon?

CEBEP You're not going to get a response from smallwheeler. No longer on the forum.

Regarding the SU18... I remember there was an unsuccessful kickstarter for the original bike. Nice to see that the designer is still working on it. It's definitely a very different style of fold.

@Lalato I also like the concept of it. It's clear designer is improving the bike in v2.0. Definitely a change in fold and bike design compared to now dominating Dahon/Tern folds along with Brompton. Always good to see something both unique the practical.

More interesting thing is latch design he used in both rear and front ones which are different and seem to be solid.

I'M BACK, BABY!

Welcome back, smallwheeler !

I want to buy - Cannondale SuperSix EVO Carbon Disc Ultegra. But did you saw the prices? :( Less than for $4000 you will not find good bike.

I've been having some... well, feels, okay? 🤨... about this oil slick Mint...

... and then swappin out e.v.e.r.y last part I could for one with an oil slick finish.

Like I said, they're just feels that I'm having. 🤨

That small diameter seatpost looks precarious..

I like the Dahon Speed and frames inspired by it (Fnhon Storm, etc). These are folding bicycle frames made of chromoly, with V-brakes arranged for the 406 rim and enough clearance for 50mm tires. There are versions of these that have disc brakes but, they wouldn't interest me unless they also have V-brake capability.

Of course, the real Dahon frames now have a strengthening tension cable:

I like it!

My Dahon Mariner i7 has the deltec cable. It also has the stronger lockjaw hinge. It's a solid ride,...

Are they trying to hide something, or is it something cooked up by corporate lawyers? If you were to unbolt the cable, would the bike explode in a ball of fire?

It's to add strength to the frame, and help prevent fatigue in the joint. But you knew that already, didn't you? Please don't ask me irrelevant questions. If you don't like it, or feel like arguing, go choose someone else.

Did Dahon frames have issues with frame strength or joint fatigue before?

Possibly. This is a preventative measure to add more strength to the beefed up Mariner i7 frame. Dahon is good when it comes to recalls. The ride on this feels about as good as my non-folding bikes. Surprisingly good actually.

Only the aluminum ones, not the chromoly ones, such as the Speed.
