nathrix Posted August 2, 2012 Share Post your folding bikes here...saw some beautiful ones at Critical Mass Jhb and made me think how many models are out there! There's a few I wouldn't mind getting my little claws on, Modern and Vintage/Classic Tern Verge x20Tern, a new folding bike brand that was introduced to the public a few months ago at an unveiling event in Taipei, has begun shipping bikes. The Tern product line consists of 22 models of folding bicycles ranging in price from US$400 to US$3,500. The company's top-end offering, the Verge X20 seen below, is built for speed and weighs in at just a tick over 20 lbs.http://www.foldingcyclist.com/Tern-Verge-X20-folding-bike.jpghttp://www.foldingcyclist.com/Tern-Verge-X20-folding-bike-folded.jpg Tern Link Unohttp://www.foldingcyclist.com/Tern-Link-Uno-folding-bike.jpg Schwinnhttp://cdn.schwinnbikes.com/catalog/product/cache/55/image/457x300/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/s/_/s_12_WORF_BLK_1.jpg Brompton Key Model S2L-X (Brompton being the Grandaddy of folding bikes I think)http://www.brompton.co.uk/extranet/downloads/Key_Models/mid/S2L_X_Black_angle.jpg Pacific Reachhttp://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2_x3tH3RuRM/SGE6aHiASuI/AAAAAAAAAAU/_iARba3D9CE/s320/reach_red_2Racing.jpghttp://www.foldsoc.co.uk/Mike/Reach_review_html_3bc0d8bc.jpg GIANT EXPRESSWAY 1 and EXPRESSWAY 2http://www.giant-bicycles.com/_generated/_generated_za/bikes/models/images/550/2012/010-EXPRESS-WAY1.jpg http://www.giant-bicycles.com/_generated/_generated_za/bikes/models/images/550/2012/011-EXPRESS-WAY-2M1.jpg Dahon to Unveil New IOS Folding Bike Line at Eurobikehttp://www.foldingcyclist.com/Dahon-IOS-XL-folding-bike-announced.jpg Perhaps it's time to organise a race...

Mojoman Posted August 2, 2012 Share Tough, rugged, and ready for anything, this mountain bike is dropped from the sky to land prepared for action. The speed of unfolding this bike for riding will blow you away. No tools required to fold and stash in your Humvee. The Paratrooper® comes equipped with front suspension, 24-speed Shimano shifters, and heavy duty double cage aluminum pedals to tackle the roughest terrain. The Paratrooper® Tactical Folding Mountain Bike uses all standard mountain bike wheels and components serviceable at any bike shop.http://www.militaryb...m/products.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folding bikes South Africa Posted October 5, 2012 Share Dahon folding bikes will soon be available in South Africa! To promote the arrival of the biggest folding bike company in the world, we are travelling on 2 folding bikes from the Mozambique border to the Namibian border along the South African coastline. We cycle, hitch or use public transport. We did a similar trip on folders from Cairo to Cape Town a few years ago.

CAAD4 Posted October 5, 2012 Share I saw the Tern Uno, (I think) up close at the importers in Slaapstadt a few days ago. I was a Dahon fan, but the Tern would be my pick. The fact that there are no cables is clean and fantastic. It's also much prettier in the flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No cables, sram internal hub with only two speeds automatic shifting and back-pedal coaster brake.http://www.ternbicyc...bikes/verge-duo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrickza Posted March 14, 2016 Share Does anyone here own a Brompton in JHB they would let me test ride? I'm looking to buy one, but would love a test ride first as they are seriously pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
