are you short on space but don't want to compromise small wheels, gears etc for a good ride? What alternatives have you considered?

    No, a decent bike.

    Your point was?

    I think Fliphandle was after recommendations for a folding bike. Its hard to tell.

    If recommendations for a folder is what they were after, I would suggest an Airnimal.
    FCN 3: Raleigh Record Ace fixie-to be resurrected sometime in the future
    FCN 4: Planet X Schmaffenschmack 2- workhorse
    FCN 9: B Twin Vitamin - winter commuter/loan bike for trainees

    I'm hungry. I'm always hungry!

    I ride a Brompton so don't mind small wheels and the size of the fold is a winner for me.

    There are large wheel folders out there though if you don't mind a larger fold size...

    Dahon do them...

    And Montague as well...

    I like the look of Airnimals myself but they are still a smaller wheeled folder.

    This is a good resource for info on folding bikes...

    What an odd opening post, it reads like a spam/sales pitch. Theres a few foldy threads on here to search through.

    What are your priorities fold over ride or vice versa? Makes a difference to recommendations
