Hello from Bombay, India!
I am 55 year old woman who has been wishing to re-cycle again, after many, many moons! I am hoping to get off my tush and get about some, especially back to photography.
It was a full time job 12 years ago...now all I hold up are the tyres on me hips :** I would like to tour, and thought the sturdiness of a proven foldable MTB would handle the roads and tracks in India, adequately.
Eventually, I've been able to get the Montague Pro (yesterday), as second choice, though first would have been the Tern Node D7i, which is not available in India. Apparently, not as sturdy from the threads I've read... Wish I'd gotten on here (Bike Forum) before I ordered my bike.
I should be a happy puppy, but I'm not... I have a query on the folding bikes forum, if you could clarify doubts, please.
Thanks

Which forum??!

I wanted something rugged to tour on, hence the choice.
I will not be be flying over bumps and humps. I wondered if I've bitten off more than I can chew... the peddling seems a trifle high - luckily I am still pretty flexible !
I cannot return the bike. So I've come to terms with that, not to mention it does ride rather splendidly, with stock components.
I will be taking it for some adjustments to a bike store tomorrow but i was wondering...
WOULD YOU GUYS HAVE ANY ADVICE ON MAKING MY 'MONTY PP', cheeky deville compatible??
Thanx so very much!
