In stock configuration a Folding Twenty is pretty heavy.
Great bikes though, once you have it set up how you like it.
Mine has zero original parts.
bottom bracket: Shimano axel w/ Phil wood cups
crank and brakes: mostly Campagnolo (rear caliper is Super Record, front is Dia Compe.)
Aluminum seat post and other assorted left over parts..ahead-set MTB stem etc.
451 rims w/ Schwalbe Durano tires..
53 x 14 ..if I remember correctly, Single speed.
Can break the whole thing down ..or build it up...to fit in a 29" suitcase, in 20 minutes with just a few tools.
1. Pedals & Cranks come off
2. remove wheels
3. seat post ( reflector helps keep the seat post heigh constant when re-installing, otherwise use a sharpie to make a line here)
4. bars/stem
5. frame of course separates, now with a single allen bolt.
Have ridden in Seoul, London, Paris, Munich, Zurich & various towns near these cities,
Travel now means I deciding between this Folding 20 or the Ti-Swift depending on the destination etc.
Folding 20 is perfect if the destination requires a 'lock-up' bike,
it's 'cosmetically challenged' and is pretty safe to lock-up, in say, Paris or London or NYC
all depends on the type of travel I am doing, where I am headed - whether it's for work / commuting or pleasure / distance riding.
Folding 20 has been great !
Seen here: shuttling about out near the boat / beach with visits to the hardware store and supermarket.
