The hummer logo must cover a swathe of drilluminium holes 
Sweet - people must do a double take when the lift it...
I wanna see it with slicks...

That frame wasn't heavy... only about 1kg heavier than a very light roadie frame and only a few 100g heavier than a hardtail MTB frame.
There's a guy who has a Birdy of around 8kg. My Swift is about 8.5kg using fairly plain parts, and if I could find a suitable fork I could cut it to 8kg. I might cut another 1/2kg by going all-out with weight-weenie cranks and brakes and using a dura-ace cassette.

Resurrecting a 10 year old thread. I made the bike as light as 7.81kg with knobby tires and carbon rigid fork, before switching to a separable frame. I still have fond memories of this montague bike....

IMPORTANT: Any new bike using the Hummer brand name is a copy. Montague did work with General Motors to produce Hummer branded bikes between 2002 and 2007. Since that time Montague has produced NO Hummer branded bicycles.

Fascinating thread. Brings back memories of the Montague CX-7 I used to years as the daily bank runner for the job I'm about to retire from. Always loved them as a commuter, found them comfortable, very useful, and the folding capabilities allowed me to easily store it in the front of the shop's service department (I work for a Honda/Yamaha/Can-Am dealer). Two years ago I went down to a part time, semi-retirement schedule and quit cycling daily on the bank run - so I sold it. Probably not one of my better moves.

Hi Raxel,
I copied your build and actually did put the 700c x25 wheels on mine it look very much like your last configuration with road bars and brifters. I have shimano 105 calipers which took a little modification for the back but work great. I will post pictures later but I am new and have complete the required 10 post thing yet. Your build defiantly inspired my build thanks for posting the pictures.

For me, this is the best iteration of what you've done here. How did it ride without the suspension fork? I bet it was a blast on dirt roads.

I didn't go super light on the rigid fork, but I much prefer the handling over the old/cheap/heavy stock fork. This is as 'road' as this bike is gonna go for a while, as I'm building up a Fit frame now.

Had to have one
I collect foldies
now have to get rid of it
Lots of stuff does what it does better. It was a pioneer.
No complaints just the cost of education.
