For Sale - Yellow Hummer Folding Bike

Now that I have 3, full size, folding mountain bikes (a flat black SwissBike LX, a cammy green Paratrooper and a canary yellow Hummer), I have way more full size folding bikes than I need. I've decided to offer one of the folding mountain bikes for someone else to enjoy - the yellow Montague Hummer TX. (See the slideshow below; click on any slide to enlarge the photo.)



The Montague Hummer TX folding bike is in great shape and has low mileage (300 miles max). Though it sold last year for $800, this bike can be yours for just $450. I'd consider that quite a bargain.

Following are the Hummer's specs...

- Color: HUMMER Yellow
- Frame: Patented military paratrooper folding frame.
- Frame Construction: Custom drawn 7005 Series aircraft grade aluminum tubing. Oversize moncoque top tube. Double butted rear triangle. Welded by hand.
- Drive Train: 24-Speed Simano.
- Rear Derailleur: Shimano Deore LX. Lightweight alloy, long lasting and quietrunning, equipped with fluorine coated bushings to reduce friction for lighter and more precise shifting action.
- Front Derailleur: Shimano top swing design with compact low-friction linkage to reduce shifting effort.
- Front Suspension: HUMMER suspension fork with 2.5" of travel, coil spring system. Disc brake mount.
- Brakes: Front disc with self centering micro adjust. Rear, alloy linear pull V-Style with alloy levers.
- Rims And Spokes: Double wall with reinforced eyelets, CNC machined braking surface and “Aqua-No” channel for improved braking in wet and/or muddy conditions. Stainless steel spokes.
- Saddle: VELO mountain double density with comfort grip surface.
- Pedals: Military spec. Extra wide, double cage bear trap.
- Tires: 26” x 1.95” front and rear specific off-road knobby
- Sizes: 18"
- Folding Size: 36" x 28" x 12"

Other than some small scratches, the Hummer is in excellent condition. Following are more specifics.

There are 2 small scratches (1 front, 1 rear) & a scuff on the top tube, some paint has rubbed off of the alloy bear trap pedals, alloy crank arms and inner portion of the rear fork (where debris from riding hit - or this might just be dirt...). All of these scratches are minor. In fact, showing them in the photos was virtually impossible.

There is also a small tear on the side of the saddle where the upholstery meets the edge of the saddle frame. The tear is about half an inch and that is visible in one of the photos.

The original factory shipping carton is in great shape so I can pack the bike up in that and send it to you.
