ones. We will wait for a while before ordering a second one. BTW,
we are using the same cautious approach in purchasing folding bikes. Bought a 7-gear Giant Halfway last week to try out for a while before getting the second one. It's a beautiful, well-designed bike, fold up very easily and ride very comfortably. Cool! Folding bikes are on my "check 'em out at OSH" list this year. How much were they? (And what brand is "Giant Halfway"?) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Cool! Folding bikes are on my "check 'em out at OSH" list this year. How much were they? (And what brand is "Giant Halfway"?) Cost: $550. Mfg: Giant - check under specialty bike http://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/page.asp Model: Halfway (halfway between a street and dirt bike). 20", 7 speed Reviews: http://www.pestridge.go-plus.net/transport/giant.html http://philip.greenspun.com/flying/shopping It's a bit more heavy than the 8-speed Dahon Helios P8 which was also under consideration (28lbs vs. 23lbs). The several months backlog on Dahon bikes and some of the bad reports on this brand reliability and mfg support were the reasons for the Giant Halfway purchase. |

Cost: $550. Mfg: Giant - check under specialty bike http://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/page.asp Model: Halfway (halfway between a street and dirt bike). 20", 7 speed Reviews: http://www.pestridge.go-plus.net/transport/giant.html http://philip.greenspun.com/flying/shopping Thanks for the info. Ya just gotta wonder why those stupid folding bikes are SO expensive. It's buy one in a heartbeat at the $150 level -- but $550? I suppose it's product liability rearing its ugly head again. One kid pinches a finger off while folding it, and WHAM -- they're in court. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
