Yes , we can have lot of benefits with folding bicycle. Hummingbird is best in foldable bicycles. It's just 6.9 kilos, which in bike terms is absolutely nothing. Pick it up and it barely registers on the effort-o-meter,it's folding mechanism is quick and highly satisfying and the engineering quality of the pivots and hinges is delicious and finally the additional lightness is a boon.

In reply to Art Of Hookie.

Their 406 wheel touring bikes like the NWT are built on adjustable jugs, and so that 1 main frame tube is offered in 8 lengths.. and as it is , you spec the component pick & your order sheet joins a a buyer’s queue ..

I was in Eugene for years .. Alan was one of the Burly worker owned CoOp founders , His ATP company built the tandem frames for them around 1990, then when Burly CoOp went into making more stuff internally , then the bike friday company developed.. Touring is the activity bike touring you do on a bike v, the bike you prefer is up to your preferences..

you may like the fact that you don’t take apart a Brompton.. they sell well .. I own an M3L

they make 1 frame. My Mk 4 is about 60cm long, seat to bar mast centers.

In reply to Robert Clark. Just an FYI, bike fridays aren't really made for each customer, they are pretty much all the same with switched in parts. They are unbelievably pricy, complex and very difficult to take apart, you notice it didn't say fold. I went to the factory with intent on purchasing one but was very let down. This was 18 months ago when I stumbled upon Brompton. Now 3000 miles later and planing my third tour. All bikes are good, it's just that some of them are better.
