Columba Folding Bike
By Susan
I bought this bike so I would be able to ride it on the boardwalk as well as bring it on trips. I am thrilled with it. I wanted a bike with the 26" wheels and came across this on Amazon. I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered it. The bike came securely packaged and required very little assembly. Within minutes my bike was ready to ride. Added air to the tires and off I went. It's amazingly easy to fold and pop in a car or trunk. I bought the red colored bike and it's gorgeous. The seller shipped it quickly and bike was just as described. If you are thinking about purchasing a folding bike, don't hesitate to get this one. Another selling feature is the 18 Shimano gears. Can't say enough about this bike! Wish I had bought it sooner!

NIce bike but there were few issues
By VLY
We got two of those bikes (red and silver) after reading all the positive reviews. Buying experience from 2KSIVER was good though there was several days delay - looked like they were out of stock (though the web site listed them in stock with 5 left). But they answered all emails promptly and did their best to get bikes delivered in time for our vacation.
The bikes came securely packed and almost fully assembled, the red one had a small frame damage but that was not critical. No tools needed - unfold the frame and pedals, turn the seat, install the handlebar, inflate tires and you are ready to go. They do the trick - both easily fit in the back of our Subaru Outback with rear seatbacks down and that was what we needed the folding bikes for. First impression was good, bikes seem well build and ride is relatively comfortable thanks to double suspension. Few negative comments after the first ride:
- Rear derailer in one bike needed adjustment, had to un-tight the cable screw and readjust cable length otherwise the gear number on the hand bar did not correspond with the number of the sprocket.
- In both bikes real derailer guards were bent and prevented switching to gears 5 and 6. Had to manually straighten them. That and the previous problem with derailer would be impossible task for a lot of people with no mechanical skills - means visit to a repair shop.
- Front derailer does not have gear number indication.
- Despite of the alloy frame and rims they are relatively heavy - 34 lb.
- They do not support riders heavier than 200 lb - come on, who they are for, just teens and girls?? should be good for 250 lb at least.
- Both I and my wife found the narrow seats very uncomfortable. Ended up with spending $60 more for two wide soft seats (and Columba does make the wider seats part # 20A for the same price as the original part # 26A ones!). Besides, being 6'2" I had to order a longer 12" seat post separately. It should be possible to select seat post length and seat style while ordering the bikes!
Other than that - nice bikes for the money, overall quality and durability seem to be good.

Easier than I thought
By mnmom
I have been thinking about getting a folding bike for a while and got some amazon gift cards so decided to take the plunge. Wanted something I could throw in the back of my prius and drag out whenever I wanted and was afraid this would be too big. The hardest part of putting this bike together was getting the bubble wrap off of it. I took it with me today while getting my tires rotated. Easy in and out of the car, easy to fold and unfold, remarkably light. I am in my mid- fifties and would not describe myself as athletic. It is easily adjustable- I rode around for an hour today and made handlebar and seat adjustments. I have not had handlebar gearshifting before and this took a bit of getting used to, but by the time my car was ready I'd mastered it. I work near a bike trail I've always wanted to ride over lunch but figured I'd just get my bike stolen if I left it on the rack on my car, now I can just drag this out. I'm excited about this bike.

THis bike is still great nearly a year later. I moved to an area close to bike trails and now use it around town, take it to work in the back of the car. I got a nice set of saddle bags and a rack for the back and the rack doesn't really impede folding. Yesterday went for a nice long ride while my daughter was getting a haircut. I've taken to taking it with me and going for a ride when I have to wait for something (oil change, etc). It is light, easy to work with, easy to adjust. Can't say enough good stuff about it. I am, by the way, an out of shape 55 year old who just likes to bike.
