Tern Link Uno thoughts
I am looking at folding bikes for a short multi-modal commute to work. I am looking for a bike (Pinigis get back to us!!) for Spring/Summer/Fall usage and a beater for the winter (Toronto, Ontario, Canada winter weather is a salt shower). For the winter, I am looking at this used Tern Link Uno with what looks to be a single front caliper brake - I haven't used a single speed bike with one brake in 'decades', but my understanding is that single speeds can take a beating in the weather better than a traditional bike. Thoughts on the Tern Link Uno - is it worth it (350$ CAN)? I don't know the condition of the bike yet except from the pictures that were provided, I am just trying to get a feel for things.
As a side note - this would be used in the summer by the kids, and in the winter by me so there is multi-functionality usage here.
Thanks everyone

My apologies, I am just now seeing this and getting back to you. I assume you are asking about our new Cobra single-speed model. Yes, we should have it in stock by June 23rd. It will have a coaster brake (like the Tern Uno) but no front brake (although one can be added) for the sake of weight and simplicity.
