I love the second pic - pure Italian elegance!

As for the pic above ... it looks like a Heath Robinson

"It takes one hour to fold". Love it!


As for the beauty of the bicycle - it is a truly remarkable machine that significantly increases the efficiency of the human body using nothing more than simple mechanics. It is a crying shame that it gets such bad press from the Daily Wail reading bourgeoisie.

I thought the same

I want one of those trikes when I'm old and decrepit.

And the hour-long folder is so ugly it's beautiful.

I agree with Fnaar the hour folding bike is a work of art. All it wants is a good paint job and a polish. Love to have a go on it.

The link just takes me to a blank page, I suspect my browser has blocked it.

It’s 11 years old. So no wonder it’s not there anymore

I've just seen the date, no I'm not suprised either.

Considering the original post was 11 (eleven) years ago, the page may well have been removed.
What possesses anyone to go trawling back eleven years?

Good question?

Maybe because it showed up at the bottom of the page in ”Similar threads”? I’ve been caught like that before
