Does anyone know anything pro or con about the Bike Friday make.


Not much help. But Bike Friday is well known as a folding bike. Been around for a long time. Everything I have seen or heard about them has been quality. They have been used for around the world tours so they are tough and work. Not cheap but quality.

The internal gear hub seems like it would be the best over derailleurs for a folding bike. You might check if they use the Rohloff internal hub. It is the premium internal hub and does have a wide gear range.

They don't mention it on their site but they do build custom bikes so
if asked for they'd probably scrounge around and get you one.
