Tchibo

Quoted message said:

Just a heads up. Tchibo are selling a 20" wheel folding bike for £199.
It has a front hub dynamo and lights.
An aluminium frame and 3 speed sturmey archer rear hub.

Construction looks good and at least as good as the Dahon vitesse I use.

Noe sold out.

It seems to be popular - the website says that it's sold out.

It was sold out on the website earlier today, so you'll have to find a
store that stocks it...

I think Tchibo deliberately make some items unavailable to online
shoppers; I've seen some items 'sell out' before 9am on the Wednesday
they hit the stores. The stores often have plenty...

I nearly bought one when I saw them but can't justify to the wife having
another folder when we have two already.

They had one in Salisbury on Saturday - it looked twice the size of a folded
Brommie and quite unwieldy.

I had a look at one on Saturday. Looked solidly built but weighed a
ton, I wouldn't fancy lugging it on and off public transport very
often. Might be OK as a shopping bike for someone with limited
storage.
I got a pair of the padded sports gloves though.

I thought the bike locks looked ok for £8 and they have "sports" track mits
that looked OK, padded palm and net back, too but forget the price.

It's not how they look that matters, it's how they perform under attack
that matters.

That's why I said they LOOKED OK. There was no testing/certification
information on the locks, and I doubt they'd have been too please if I
whipped the bolt-cutters out of my back-pack and set-to.
