Wanted: NWT or Llama in XL or XXL size

[Wesley Brooks]

I’m a tall guy looking for a folding bike for touring. By the Rivendell method, my pubic bone height is 96cm and I’m about 6’3”. Let me know if you have a line on a used Bike Friday, thanks!

Not sure if this would work for you, but somebody posted this recently.  https://groups.google.com/a/bikefriday.com/g/yak/c/viGy2239NGQ

Thanks! I checked with Eric before my post but was too slow. So, still looking for a XL Llama or NWT 🤞

Thanks for thinking of me, David. I’ll pass in this case because I bought a Bike Friday off EBay yesterday. It’s bit of a risk because the seller isn’t as knowledgeable as someone on here would be but I had them make a couple of measurements and it seems like the size will be right. The price was such that I felt I could take a chance, anyway. If this doesn’t work out I’ll check back in sometime.

I'm the guy who bought the NWT Silk from Eric, who bought it from me, who bought it from him. We've basically traded it back and forth over the past few years. 

I've bought and sold quite a few Bike Fridays (my pandemic rabbit hole) and currently have an OSATA (One Size Adjusts To All) that I was using prior to getting the NWT back. It's not a folding frame--it's a separating frame. It actually packs smaller than a hinge frame because it comes apart. At full extension it can get very long, so it would be a good pick for a tall rider, not to mention a small person. If you don't need something that does a quick fold, it could be a good pick for touring. And no hinge means a more rigid frame. It all depends on your purposes for the bike. 

I can send a few pictures of it tomorrow if you are interested. 

I also have a Swift Folder and a folding Slingshot mountain bike that I'm selling. They both get small enough to fit in airline approved cases.
