Giant Halfway

[Fastpedaller]

Yesterday someone told me about a folder they have but couldn't remember the name - They then said it was designed 'by the guy who designed the Lotus bike'. Today I remembered to look online and found the Giant Halfway....... it's an interesting folder and one I've not seen before. Doing a search I see some here have first-hand experience.

They're really good. And they hold their value.

Are they the one with only one fork leg ?
Certainly hold the value if this one is anything to go by

Looking at Ebay sold prices is a better indication of second-hand value (£80 - 125 seems typical). Asking price can be way off sale price.

Very true and they don't come up vary often

For the the single fork blade and single stay model never having to take off a wheel to sort a puncture. I always assumed the fork blade and rear stay was super thick as the bike has quite a high weight rating.

Am I the only person/pedant thinking that with only one leg it's not a fork?

I get myself unreasonably annoyed when I read "forks" in relation to a bicycle.

I must agree. It's like motorcycle swingARMS, most of which are actually forks.

Having the mono-forks is a neat way of getting a smaller fold. I hope to be able to get a look at the Giant Halfway of the guy who mentioned it - it does look intriguing.

That looks good. Do the wheels seem 'secure,' or do they feel like they are attached to a regular 2-blade fork?

Oops - I've just realised my error .......... I meant to say "Do the wheels seem 'insecure,' or do they feel like they are attached to a regular 2-blade fork?"
