New Arrival - Small, but Perfectly Formed!!!

Here he is - arrived in a box big enough for 3 normal sized bikes, but hey... The law of N+1 got hold again, so this is the latest addition to the stable. He might be small, but he's rather cute and will be perfect for a couple of miles down the road with no need to put on cycling shoes, etc - and then he can just get stuffed into a car boot when needed. In case anyone wonders, "he" is a midnight blue Revolution Compact - basically a rebadged Dahon aluminium frame.

Now I just need to wait for the rain to stop so I can take him for a testride!!! :D Only criticism so far is they could have made the seatpost a couple of centimetres longer, my 34 inch legs could do with a tiny bit of extra extension, but I have that problem with a lot of folders, and fortunately for what I'm going to be using it for, it doesn't really matter that much.

What do you think?

Awwww! It's cute! But it needs a name....and a gender :rolleyes:

Enjoy, & post about the first ride, please. ;)

He's called Stuart - it had to be Scottish, had to start with "S" and be related to the bikeshop :D At least it goes with his stablemates Shane and Simon! ;)

Very cute! And Stuart is a perfect name for a Revolution (beware of catastrophic failure, though ;) ).
