It rides like a normal bike, but depending to the small wheels it is not very comfortable and the wheels become quite hot/ to my mind too hot, when there are too many mountains, so I stoped the idea to use it for travelling. It was fine in town.

NO , I have sold the Bike Friday, now I use a bike with S&S couplings, this makes much more sense for traveling, see www.sandsmachine.com , its to my mind imossible to go down a mountain pass with a small wheel bike and lot of travelling gear.
Whenever you are interested in an S&S frame, I still have a 17inch frame to sell.

You can cut every steel or titanium frame and let braze the cupplers into the frame, but it is for a new frame still 500$/ Euros extra and than you have to pay the repainting also. I want for the frame only 500Euros, for pictures I must have your email. The frame has got new red powdercoat.
