Folding bike : any experience with a TREK F400 or F600 ?

[[email protected]]

Hi,

I am considering bying a folding bike. The only one available in my
area (Luxembourg) is a trek but I can't find any decent information
about it .

How much does it weight ?
Is it OK for tall riders ?
Is the frame stiff ?


Regards,

Eric

You can't find a Brompton dealer nearby or in France, Germany or
Holland? Try asking the distributors - details on
www.bromptonbicycle.co.uk - click on buying, then the country you are
nearest to.

Sadly, my own experience of the Trek folders was limited to standing
right next to a pair of them in Evans Cycles the other day. I wasn't
paying them much attention because they were next to half a dozen Bromptons.

I've just realised, I don't think I mentioned to this group the fact
that I now have a Brompton...

I very nearly had one the other day. I'm going to try and hold out until
January, though, just in case they get a little bit cheaper ...

No I don't think you've ever mentioned it, nor has it been mentioned by any
of the other posters!

Cheers, helen s ;-)

Only one? Hardly sufficient to have bragging rights. ;-)
