A road bike that folds! This is a bit different...

Got this as a means of being able to be flexible on my commute. Its a full size bike that folds as opposed to being a folding bike apparently.
Looks wierd but is surprisingly comfortable on the road. Slightly long reach with the drop bar conversion but the Jtek shifter/Nexus set up works well. Weighs a ton.
Maybe the oddest looking bike on here? Be kind

Here we go as i said its not a compact folder and you really need to remove the front wheel. You can remove the front wheel one handed with this QR system.

WOW!!! Wonder how much it weighs?
Thanks for doing the folding!0 -
About a ton.
Must say though its quite refreshing after riding a "proper" road bike. The weight may be an issue but the ride is smooth and handling fairly predicatable. Actually quite like the hub gears and bar end shifter set up. The geo is like nothing else i have ever ridden and so some adjuestments over time will be nessesary.
The other thing is its quite utilitarian so will be my do it all bike - i even think it will handle a little "off roading". The guards are a great feature too as they are quick relasease - takes 2 seconds to get them on and off.0 -
