I want a 10
10kg, 10 speeds, Under 10 Bennies, ride for 10 miles and want to go farther.
10,000 mile durability
Tenish , anyone?
I 'm getting 30's
30lbs, 30 Bennies, bad feeling at 30 yards, 30 youtubes of somebody riding in a circle, over 30 gallons in size/30 inch bag, 30 year old design that no one over 30 can ride..
My ideal might be a mass produced Hummingbird, and things are compared against that without much movement towards it yet.
Have we hit a peak in the Moore's Law of foldies?
Carbon is fragile.
Steel's weighty if tough.
Big wheels are hefty ,
Small ones are rough.
Chains are greasy,
Titaniums flex,
Labor doesn't come easy,
Boy, what a hex.
Small runs are costly,
Designers dream weird
A new better foldy
Just hasn't appeared.
