Looks nice! That one addresses my main issue with Brompton: the price.
I used to have a Dahon Boardwalk, but it didn't fold as nicely as any of these trifold bikes. And it didn't have any way to stay securely folded which led to me almost smacking another passenger on the subway once.
I've been considering a Java Neo myself.
These bikes are "sport touring" rather than racing machines, but they would have been considered fairly good quality when new. Not top of the line, but definitely not junk. Looks like they're in pretty good shape, too. Definitely too good to toss in the trash.
Yeah, that's what a trifold is since Brompton invented that design. But in a way every bicycle brand is a clone of the original safety bicycle.
Yeah; some of my browsers trust the certificate, but desktop Firefox does not. I didn't see eMudhra in the signing chain.
Seems like your run-of-the-mill Brompton clone with a range of 14 to 20 inches wheels.
Oof. Looks like [insert joke about TLS certificate or 4 or something].
Donate them? Someone will appreciate them.
Ah, a fellow european 👀 if you live near an university campus, they often have self-organized bike workshops. I bet you they‘d gladly take them as a donation.
OP DID say Denmark in a comment, I'm sure you guys can arrange something even if they're not close to Copenhagen itself
Gorgeous bikes! Mine got stolen just a while ago. If you’re around Copenhagen I would easily get on a train..
but I want my bike to crack so I can talk about it in forums.
I replaced my stolen ti with another used ti, a litespeed tuscany. Its been a great bike. Probably 10k to 15k miles on that one. Theres something special about your first couple bikes.
Contact a local bike shop. If they don't take them off your hands, they should know who will. Tossing them would be a vintage crime.
Frame shifters did index briefly before Shimano came along.
They look super neat! Where from? Canada?
The levers are on the frame and go clicky-click when shifting.
Frame shifters don't usually do that. Sounds like those are Sun Tour Power Ratchet shifters, pretty fancy!
The color scheme reminds me more of the early '90s, but perhaps someone can date them more accurately than me.
I loved my 80's Cannondale and sold it to another excited person. These bikes last forever, look so nice, and ride well.
Don't throw them away.
Edit: I had a Centurion before that and my lock was cut and it was stolen. At least it shows they are in demand. 😢
If you can't sell them, thrift them. Please don't just throw away a (potentially) good bike.
Fluted seat posts. Dope.
Bruh, those are sick and a very common size. There are many people who would want to rid em. DO NOT TOSS EM.
I once posted a shit condition, cheap as hell, no brand bike that was rusting and has a lock I had lost the key for onto Facebook marketplace for £10. People were falling over themselves to come get it first. Bikes seem to always have value.
Ha! Nice try.
No no, she still plays golf and stuff. But she can be rather reckless out in traffic. She has another bicycle anyway, this is no longer her daily driver. I know, I sound like a concerned parent; she admits it herself and has taken a few tumbles in the past few years - and tumbles from bikes are better when you're 8 or 18, not 85.
