Thank You Rapid Transit.

I just wanted to let would be Brompton buyers know that Rapid Transit staff was wonderful to deal with. I had a few thousand questions to ask about all things Brompton before I decided to buy. All…Continue

Thunder Snow replied to Joza 7 miles's discussion 'Thank You Rapid Transit.'"I haven't had a chance to ride either a Brompton or a Tern, but those two would be top of my list if I were shopping for a folder.
I would be leery of Dahon right now. All of the best design and marketing people seem to have jumped…"
notoriousDUG replied to Joza 7 miles's discussion 'Thank You Rapid Transit.'"Yes, Brompton only makes a 16" wheel bike; they place highest priority on the compact fold so there is a trade off in how the bike handles. I think the Brompton handles well for a tiny wheel bike but it is still noticeable.
We have…"
Anne Alt replied to Joza 7 miles's discussion 'Thank You Rapid Transit.'"When I was looking to buy, I did test rides on folders with 12", 16" and 20" wheels. The smaller the wheel, the more sensitive the bike seemed to any pavement imperfection. I chose a bike with 20" wheels for the same…"
Dan Allison 14.5 mi replied to Joza 7 miles's discussion 'Thank You Rapid Transit.'"Brompton exclusively makes 16" wheelers, right? when it comes to small wheel folders i really do prefer a 20" wheel over a 16". when i was doing folder test rides, 16" just felt a little too toy-like to me. not that 20"…"

notoriousDUG replied to Joza 7 miles's discussion 'Thank You Rapid Transit.'"How long is the current seatpost? The Raleigh 20 will accept a 28.6 seatpost and they are easily available in 35mm lengths.
"
Anne Alt replied to Joza 7 miles's discussion 'Thank You Rapid Transit.'"Sorry to hear it. I have a Dahon Speed P8 (steel frame) that I bought back in 2003. It's held up well and is still going strong. It seems that Dahon's commitment to quality products and customers has fallen off a LOT…"
Juan Primo replied to Joza 7 miles's discussion 'Thank You Rapid Transit.'"My folder is a Raleigh 20. Unfotunately, it is ALMOST tall enough for me. It would be cool if I could find an extended seatpost for it because I'm thinking of giving up on that cool cool bike... that almost fits."
notoriousDUG replied to Joza 7 miles's discussion 'Thank You Rapid Transit.'"I didn't think you were going to really need that, I can ride one with the extended post well and it seemed like you are shorter than I am.
Bring it on in and we can get it swapped out for you.
"
Joza 7 miles replied to Joza 7 miles's discussion 'Thank You Rapid Transit.'"I looked At Tern, Bike Friday, Brompton.
I had no problem deciding which brand would best fit my needs. Brompton.
I needed a folder for use in conjunction with a bus leg in my commute. Knowing that space would be
very…"
notoriousDUG replied to Joza 7 miles's discussion 'Thank You Rapid Transit.'"They do make a model that is a folder.
It sucks.
"
Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Joza 7 miles's discussion 'Thank You Rapid Transit.'"I've always understood Bike Fridays to be more accurately described as packable more than folding. Most of their videos show a bike significantly disassembled to fit in a case. Good for checking at the beginning/end of a long trip,…"
