Funny that I have to learn on an American site that Fuga is a Belgian brand. :D

Oh, I just looked up Fuga bikes...not what I have. I have an Eddy Merckx "Fuga"(2002). I have to go back and look at those other bikes now. Geez. Just what I need. Another bike obsession.Quote:

Nice Brompton. What size are the wheels? And do you have pictures of it folded up?
check out the folding bike thread!
This it:

Wheels are 16", 20" are way to big if you want to take it on the train every day. If you buy a folding bike, you gave to consider the weight (Dahon f.e. is way to heavy) and the size of the bike when its folded.
I think Bromptons fold up the smallest, and the Bike Friday Tikit are the quickest to fold and they get pretty small and you can wheel them around while folded. If I used public transit, I would get a Tikit. It would have been great to have when I lived in Washington, DC and in Paris...
It takes me about 10 seconds to fold it. And this one weights approx 10 kgsQuote:

The brompton is handy because you can place it between the seats on the train. They designed the space especially for folding bikes. If it was any bigger than that you can't store it there and the other commuters wouldn't be happy with it. You can roll the brompton too, when you're walking. If you look closely you can see the little wheels... :)
Oh, I see. I thought it was in a bike stand, but that's the rear rack with little wheels. Clever! Over here, Fridays are easier to get than Bromptons. Nice bikes!
