Thanks to everyone!

I did find that S & S fittings website. Very intrigueing.

I also found out that Montague is now marketing an upgraded version of their
mountain bike, with Shimano XT components and a nice Rock Shox fork, through
Hummer Accessories. Problem is, they want almost $2K for it. I can get the
frame retail and roll my own with XT comps and a plush fork for about half
that. Pretty steep markup.

I did look at the "munchkin" wheel systems, but they would not hold up to my
kind of riding. I really didn't like Dahon's folding system.

It is pretty much between getting an S&S or customizing a Montague, but at
least I have my answer! Thanks again to those who participated in this
thread...

Anyone have these? I am looking at the Mountain Bike version. I don't care
much for the components (since I typically "roll my own"), but Montague
refuses to answer my emails about just buying the frames so I can build a
decent bike around it...

SOOO, I am just interested in anyone's personal experience with these

bikes,
how easy they are to throw in and out of your aircraft, and how useful

they
have been when traveling.

TIA
