I want this.
Helix - The World's Best Folding Bike Titanium folding bike. 24" wheels. Disk brakes. 1x10 drive train. Folds almost as small as a Brompton. Made in Canada. $1600. 20.5 lb. I'm thinking: longer stem, drop bars, brifters, front derailleur, double crank and you've got a folding road bike. Enough carbon bits and it can probably weigh 18 lb. Really go to town with the SRAM wireless shifters, 24" carbon rims, and 24" tubulars.

Have a 20" folder with its twitchy handling. Made some mods to fit as a full size bike and yet its heavier than a regular bike. My first though on this Helix ti folder was going belt drive then read the FAQ: Due to the fact that the chain length expands and contracts when folding, it is not currently an option. Helix uses a modern chain drive with hollow links that is lightweight, durable and highly efficient.

Hmm, no possibility of chain tensioner with belt drive? They have single speed and IGH models, so must have a way to take up chain slack.
I really wish the folder companies would turn their attention to incorporating drop bars in the fold. The only drop bar folder I know of is the Bike Friday.

Latest update to the bike. Reynolds Strike SLG carbon wheels. Have Bontrager R3 tires on it now but have 2 sets of Continental GP4000 tires for future.
Significant difference in ride quality with the new wheels. They also did change the turn in characteristics of the bike and they do seem to maintain speed better. Can't say if there has been any significant difference in climbing. Cheers

Not huge value, as it is the base model Goose, but some kid drooled over that in 1978 because & Red-Line, Torker or Cooks Bros was a pipe dream. I have a few Geese in my Flock, wouldn't mind another

My Scott Addict
Full Ultegra, lots of Bontrager parts as the previous owner is sponsored by Trek. Too bad my back injury has reared its ugly head, and after three pro fittings, I can feel the pain settling in after an hour on the seat. Hopefully can find a local buyer sooner than later.

I'm not riding right now due to lack of time.
I have my Soma Smoothie size 60 gloss white with an IRD carbon for. the groupset is an 11 spd Campy Athena group with Alloy controls and Crank. Wheelset is a set of Kinlin rms laced up to a set of custom American hubs from a defunct company called C4. I would say that the bike has less than 300 miles on it but 2 of my sons have ridden it and scratched it up. I would like to get $600 for it Jim
