Jon Whyte’s  intriguing British design is a great\u003cbr\u003ebike for  urban living  and commuting. When bike storage is a challenge, the  light weight takes the strain out of  carrying  it upstairs. Drop the  handlebars, fold  the pedals and tuck the rear wheel under the  crossbar to  squeeze it into a narrow corridor, or fold it  into its most compact shape  to  put it in a corner or behind a sofa. Folds down to 69 x 68.5 x 36 cm. Weight 11.8kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are 9 gears so you  can speed up your commute, and the lack  of a hinge in the crossbar means the frame is  nice and sturdy, so you won't experience  the flex some riders notice on folders with  that type of hinge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHandlebars adjust for height, as does  the saddle, so you can get a really  comfortable riding position. In the photos the bike is set up for me to ride, I’m 6’ or 183cm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eYou’ll also find it’s a good bike to  ride, read the test report by the respected  cycling journalist Tony Farrelly  on  bikeradar . com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou might also want to watch the YouTube “Mezzo D9 Folding and Unfolding” showing the bike being folded and unfolded.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bike has been fitted with a new ‘old stock’ Mezzo rear tyre, all the brake and gear cables have been replaced. The chain has been ultrasonically cleaned and re-lubed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe tough anodized finish on the aluminium frame stands up well to the bumps and bruises a folding bike endures, however there are one or two marks on the crossbar that don’t show on the photos. The rack is scuffed as is the front mudguard and there are some cable abrasions, for example where the brake cable runs down the left hand side of the crossbar. Take a good look at the photos to satisfy yourself as to the bike’s condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe bike comes with a copy of the owner’s manual and the Mezzo rear rack bag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCollection in person from Farnham Common, between Slough and Beaconsfield, or by prior arrangement I can meet you at Datchet, Gerrards Cross or Taplow railway stations if you are travelling by train to collect.\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Mezzo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57219187769721,"sku":null,"price":199.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/9640\/3321\/files\/s-l1600_3da6219e-14ac-4ef5-94e5-d6f1c1c036cc.jpg?v=1778013218","url":"https:\/\/www.foldingbikes4u.co.uk\/products\/mezzo-d9-folding-fold-up-foldable-bike-with-rear-rack-bag","provider":"Folding Bikes 4U","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
