Fortis folding bike second hand
Hi All,
Do you know much of folding bikes? Can you tell me your opinion on the Fortis Urban Traveller 20" sold by kogan?
bicycle?
.kogan.com/au/buy/fortis-urban-traveller-20-folding-bike
There's a second hand one that's $160, I wonder if it's worth it.
Thanks

Most of the users in here won't ride something like that. I guess I would. I don't mind inexpensive folders.
Steel frame chinese folding bike. Basic Schwinn Tourney derailleur. Alloy rims, but singlewall. Tiny cheap brake levers, same as on our Schwinn Loop. I replaced our levers with some spares off a bigger bike. If you read the reviews, there's something wiggly about the handlebars on a few samples. Probably a flimsy stem or maybe it needs a shim or something . I fear wiggly stems. Easy to upgrade. Otherwise, the reviews seem content.
In my brief search I see this bike was as low as $100AU in the past 12 years. You will do better spending a bit more if you don't have a pile of parts.
