wanted: Bike Friday

Oh TG look at Susan's because I want it so bad! LOL. Of course DH told me I could have a folder possibly with his bonus this year then realized he is lucky to have a job and likely no bonus. So shorty snap that up because I am a midget and want it myself.

You didn't even need to drag bikes to Texas, just could have called me I ride 47 cm.

I'm 5'2" and have a white Pocket Crusoe, but it is not for sale. I didn't test ride one first -- I ordered mine direct from Bike Friday, providing them with measurements from my Terry Isis (17.5" frame size = 44.5 cm). BF made the top tube a little long the first time since they couldn't believe anyone really needed a 19" TT (they didn't "get" WSD all that well in 2004). I had to send it back for a re-do, so I really have no idea what "size" it ended up as, but it fits me now.

Good luck finding one to fit you -- I've seen small ones in BF's pre-owned listings from time to time.

I just ordered my BF today through my local LBS (they are not a dealer, but since there's not another dealer for about 500 miles, they said they could order it for me and therefore I get the free lifetime service, tune ups, fitting, etc).
I didn't go custom, because we made sure (with BF) that the 50 would work (and since I just bought a $3K tri bike a year ago- I didn't feel OK with going custom again so soon), so I got the stock Pocket Sport. I'm SO excited. I just hope I love it when it comes in. I still haven't test ridden one, but I just know I'll enjoy it.

I'll post pics when it arrives.

Thanks for all your help!!!

Yay! Welcome to the Bike Friday club! Can't wait to see photos!

Great news, TriGirl! I'm not familiar with the Pocket Sport--I'm off to check it out right now on the BF website.

EDIT: The Pocket Sport is very cool! If it had been offered when I got mine, I might have gotten it instead (and saved a ton of $$!). Oh, but I do love my PRP and I'm happy to have it. Congratulations!

I'm so jealous... I want one too. Did you get the red?

Red's the only color offered, so I didn't have a choice. I love the red, though. My mtn bike is red and my TT bike is red and white. I think he'll fit in just fine.

The next week and a half will take too long. I can't wait.

Tulip- I really wanted a Crusoe or a PRP, but I'm saving a lot by getting non custom. It won't have as good components, but the bones are there and I know I can change stuff out when/if needed. I'm so excited...
