Hi hkhamateur,

Actually I got her a Dahon folder bike, while it fit the boots with ample space to spare but apparently it is too big for her. It is more for leisure with budget below $500.

Hope to find a bike for her that could fit in the boots together with the Dahon but i guess it is a challenge...

Thanks for all the inputs.

Yo bro, dun mind me sayg. U n many has e wrong perception n idea of a foldg bicycles liao! :doh:

E main purpose was to cater fr workg class in district areas to get away w many traffic jams as possi, conveniently load into public transports n priority re to promote healthy yet go green factor! :becky:

E term 'foldg' doesn't say it'll fit children bt bt...it can still b done w necessary mod! Bro Blackmercs wil like this lor! :whistle:

W refer to yr budget, boot space utilization n yr daughter age, pls forget these brands completely: Cannondale, Argon18, Specialized, Cervelo, Marin, Cube, SCOTT, Trek, GT, Wheeler, Saracen, Colnago n more as it doesn't meet yr requirement! :hand:

There's some hope tho! Try these brands as nt oni they re a huge bicycle companies tat carry a complete range w wide choice too. GIANT, POLYGON n Haro! :typing:

U may get wat yr daughter need bt bro....u ve to remove e frt n rear wheels and lowerg e seatpost still inorder to hve it hse two bicycles in yr rear trunk! :peep:

I m not into bicycle mods :) coz i cant afford one during those were the day. Most of my kakis own a bicycle & for me, i can afford only China made roller skate.

Krkrkr....:bounce:

Bro bro, roller blade can mod too! Upgrade to ceramic bearg or to a competition roller (which's smaller n need 4pcs) :becky:

Yr favorite term: The mod n poison king! :rockon:

Bro is skate not blade. Blade does not exist during my teen, skate is using 6 pcs of roller rubber material at the bottom. If you own one & the brand is Sekio is consider SLS level. Mine is Chevy.
