Bike Friday is worth a look. (www.bikefriday.com) Not sure whether they offer full-suspension though.

Check the Atlanta Craigslist. SOmeone has been spamming it like crazy with "foldable mountain bike" and it's driving everyone crazy.

I think you will find most FS bikes will fit - it just depends on the level of disassembly you're willing to tolerate. I've seen a Banshee Scream (BIG freeride bike) fit in a smaller suitcase than that, sans wheels of course.

cryptid, i dont mind dismanteling the rear end. iand it certainly does need to be a big rig, if fact the smalle/lighter the better.

also unfortunatley i dont have money to waste

soi like to find specific frames before i buy and try.

thx
