I bought one of their folders a a couple of months ago. Apart from the Huge weight I could not raise the saddle high enough to fit my meagre 5 foot 10 inches. Eventually I took advantage of their money back offer. I tend to run the seat tube about 15mm higher than the "maximum" mark (I'm 5'11"). To date I've mostly used it on those days that I have to make a blood donation but can't afford the time to ride to/from work as well(the hospital is about 2km away, and at present has serious car parking problems).

BTH I tried putting the seat up beyond the max mark but it was unstable to put it mildly. -- Remove norubbish to reply |

What? They make pensioners pay for bus fares in Sydney? *******s! In Perth, where I am a pensioner, all bus and rail journeys initiated between 9am and 3pm on work days are free, as is all public transport on weekends and public holidays. And you don't even need to be a pensioner. Just over 600 and working less than 20 hours a week. I knew you were old Theo but WTF?? : ) Fraser |
