My Adventurer
Of all the bikes I have owned over the years, I can honestly say that I enjoy this the most, even though it has its quirks, which, of course, will be remedied with a new 3 speed hub etc., down the road. I just came in from my daily ride and I thought I would snap a few pics. My wife and I bought two of these for the times when we go out and with a simple fold they pop in the back of the station wagon with ease. Considering we both own mountain bikes, these have become our main ride. I never thought that would happen, but these folding bikes are a blast to ride. I'm hooked 
PS. By the way, how do you place an image so it looks bigger than a thumbnail?

More gears, better brakes and a smaller fold (odd wheel size, though), but the real test will be if folks are collecting, refurbishing and/or restoring them 30-40 yrs from now as with the Raleigh 20.

Wow! Almost a carbine copy. Is yours sporting a 3-speed hub? I'm looking to go that route one day, hopefully soon. For one thing, less maintenance.

Damn I'm getting rusty... can't quite place that carbine. M1? I'm a fan of BullPups... my fave being the RedJacket ZK-22 10/22 conversion.
