Can anyone help me identify my folding bike?
It has an Audi emblem on it.
|
I don’t know what I’m doing.
It says I have to post 10 times before I can post a photo
|
I’ve been searching through pictures on google
I cannot find another Audi with the same frame shape.
|
I’ve seen some Apollo’s that look similar
But not with rear suspension
|
There is a serial number on the head tube
But no other markings anywhere else on the frame
|
Only 5 more posts needed. Roger

You could also read other people's threads and comment on them - then they are more likely to read your thread as well - because you will no longer be a stranger.
I can find many pictures of audi folders with rear suspension on the internet, but I have no idea whether they are like yours. What year is yours, and how big are the wheels? 20"? 26"? |
Here’s one
It has markings on the shock
|
I don’t know the year or anything else about it.

I can only make 5 posts a day.
I’ve never really used forums before. I’m not sure what’s expected or what’s considered rude.
|
I just wanted to make 10 posts
So I could upload a couple of pictures
|
I think I should be able to post a couple of pictures
After this post

I’ve spent a fair amount of time trying to track it down on google.

That’s what it looks like. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...5f2a62a1f.jpeg And that’s what it looks like folded. |
Well, it is certainly an old one, and it actually has the early MTB style of rear brake position. what we need here is someone who is familiar with the kind of equipment fitted on it.
|
The rear suspension layout looks similar to that used by Bridgestone. Perhaps made by them for Audi.
|
Are there any other photos that would help
The rear shock is labeled legeer s-1500 lb/in ts150 and the serial number on the head tube is rd070701259

Looks like an old Citizen Bike, I know it's not a Citizen. I believe Oscar bike is a Chinese factory that produces this kind of stuff.
Thanks Yan |
Just looks like a generic chinese folding bike with a audi sticker slapped on. Surely fake as Audi is a premium brand and that bike has very low end components.
I've got an NSU folding bike which is a company that made both cars and bicycles and was bought by Volkswagen group and became Audi but I don't think they manufactured any bikes at that point although the NSU brand may have continued for bikes. The bike I have is I would guess from the early 70s and has the Sach's automatic 2 speed hub. |
Not sure how old
It doesn’t look like it’s been riden much at all, and the parts look all original. The derailleur is made by Qilong. I looked them up and they appear to have been in business since 1993. The brake arms look like they may also have been made by Qilong but the levers are marked Jianyuan. The hubs are marked Tongli but but I couldn’t find much about the brand.
|
The part that gives me the most trouble is
This part of the frame
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...11361bc72.jpeg I’ve browsed hundreds, maybe thousands of images on the internet and haven’t been able to find another like it. Some frames by Apollo and Schwinn have a similar top brace but none are quite the same. |
