Never heard of a Jenson…

Hello,

Neighbor 2 days ago asked if I wanted a free folder, why yes I said. “Come by tomorrow morning a get it”.

He didn’t know what brand it was” Just some old folder”!
visions of a classic Dahon kept me company that night.
little crestfallen but still happy to receive this.

Jenson

6 speed

24” wheeled variety.
not that old I guess, busted brake and shift mechanisms, rusty chain and stamped steel V- brakes.

I have all the parts that need replacing in my bins. I don’t see it becoming anything special but might use it awhile then give it away.

LoL!!! No problem...but you DID make the beginning of my afternoon enjoyable with your comeback!

Jetson makes ebikes and electric scooter nowadays, so this is an old, discontinued folder. It's a good beater if had for cheap (and I do mean CHEAP!). I had looked at purchasing one years ago, but went with a different brand.

Thanks for the understanding and info.

It will be a cheap rehab for sure since everything is coming out of the parts bin.

Right now I have it stripped of most components. The stem’s wedge was rusted solid in the steer tube but managed to free it up.
Will do a reveal after I get back from Thanksgiving travels.

Hoping everyone does have a happy Turkey Day!

Most folks don't remember that Geroge Jetson's flying car was a folder! It folded into a briefcase, light enough to carry one handed.

I don't think that your neighbor likes you.

But, it was free and you can have some fun with it.
