<DIV>Subject: Re: [Bent] Test Ride of New Folder from Butterfly
Bicycles</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>> Thanks, OP for the glowing review- I'm glad ( and relieved!)
that you <BR>> still like it. I'm delivering the second bike to RBR <BR>>
(<A href="http://www.rbr.info/index.php">http://www.rbr.info/index.php</A>) in
State College, PA- Rob & I are <BR>> working on a consignment deal. I'm
planning a "production run" after I <BR>> finish my taxes, so if any of you
MARSians are in the market for a <BR>> travel bike, please keep me in
mind.<BR>> Rich Sadler, Butterfly Bicycles LLC<BR>> <BR>> Old Pokey
