Excellence with a personal touch; thank you for squaring my bike, I'm really enjoying it.

I ordered a Change 811 hybrid folding bicycle from Bob at Flatbike. He seemed genuinely caring that I end up with a bike that was just right for my needs. He shipped it in a very timely fashion and I LOVE the bike. It didn't take me very long to unpack and get it ready to ride and I can tell that it is going to be very easy for me to fold to pack and unfold to ride. Actually, I plan to buy a couple of accessories from him next, so that is a high recommendation...repeat business. :) Thank you, Flatbike! <3

I've been looking for a solution to traveling with a bike for a decade. I tried a Dahon, but it's just too compromised. The Rugged Hybrid with Carbon fork is basically perfect for me. I love hybrids. Riding postion, speed, flexibility - I can take this on trails or ride centuries. The frame is rigid and uncompromised by the folding mechanism - which itself is easy to use and fast. In short, it feels a lot like my Gary Fisher Mendota, and even almost on par with my Cannondale Quick Carbon. It's not even heavy. The quick folding and packing means that the only thing I had to do was remove the handlebars. Everything else was quick release. I didn't try to use the folding stem to bypass the need to remove bars, but I suppose it's possible they'd fit in the case just by folding.. I also bought the hard case for travel - and it's perfect. Was free to check on Alaska and I brought it to Maui with me on this trip. Couldn't be happier. Was easy to navigate through airport, the TSA opened it and put it back together without any issues apparently (they twisted the straps, but no harm) and I was able to fit a TON of bike gear in there too - helmet, tools, clothing etc. After years of expensive, crappy rentals, and nightmarish disassembly and reassembly of "full size" bikes, the ability to fold and pack/unpack in the space of two minutes is amazing. The bike is just lovely. The more I live with it the happier I get. I might switch to a set of pop-off SPDs, but right now I'm blissfully happy with the combo.

Flatbike was extremely helpful with all aspects of the purchase of my Change bike frame. I am not a bike builder, so building a bike from the frame up was a challenge. On several occasions I turned to Flatbike for help. A few "problems" were just rookie mistakes, but Bob at Flatbike still went out of his way to get me passed the problem. It's not always easy to find a bike shop that will work with you after the purchase. Flatbike came through with flying colors. Now I have the folding bike I've always wanted. Jim

Very satisfied with the pop off pedals! Love them!

Great price and quick shipping!

US postal charges are horrendous!

Excellent Thanks
