Comments about Paratrooper Folding Mountain Bike:
I work on a yacht as crew. Can't get better around for the job. Well worth the money.
One recommendation - change out the steel spokes for Mag wheels. Mags are more durable and reduce different metals (ie alu frame). They also look sleeker and can be lighter.
