I do not have a BF foldable, but i do have a small wheel foldable, and
i would prefer the biggest tires i could get on the small bike. Maybe
it's just me but i find it more difficult to 'absorb' the road with
the smaller bike then a regular one. I would think for urban riding
in unknown places
Paul,
Do you have any pictres? I was considering this rack for my grocery
getter, but now it seems like a pletscher to support it would be a
good idea...

William,
You can find the Shimano bar-cons on Amazon for ~$60, so almost $35 if
you compare to the RBW price, but RBW is not Amazon so what do you
expect! And to be fair the dia-comp version of the sprint bar-cons
are only a little bit more expensive the the best shimano bar con
price. Given
Whoops, i also forgot to point out, the $92 at RBW includes down-tube
cable stops, housing and cables. Which if you add that all up goes a
way to making up the difference in costs (you'd need those things w/
the shimano if you're converting a downtube-shifter bike)

Are you talking about the little grey disks? these are a known

Alan,
this is a nice looking bike, did you paint the fenders yourself?
And i think those clamps for the rear lights are called R-clamps, i
think the bigger ones are p-clamps? Or someone can explain that to
