Hi, ... the smallest Birdy is the Sterling Birdy: <http://www.birdy-freunde.de/news/archiv2005.html#051118> But, of course, the 1/16 Model is more detailed....
Hi "Metric", You say they are sell these? From what I could discern from the google translation to English this is a prototype of something that may be mass...

Hi all, I have started a Birdy Thread over at Bike forums' Folding bikes subforum. http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=473415 Perhaps better than the...
I am thinking about installing some Rivnuts on my Monocoque frame, right on the spine of the weld on the top tube towards the back, for a bottle cage. Any...
Hi Jur, I have no idea, but I would think that the silence on the forum is trepidation. Not sure where the aluminum is super thin or where it is thick. The...
I agree with Peter: I wouldn't risk drilling a monocoque frame! I have fitted rivnuts to a non-adjustable Birdy stem to fit a water bottle cage (the stem came...
Hi Jur, I too am thinking about how to attach water bottles to my birdy. I came across this site. http://www.nordicgroup.us/cageboss/ Im going to use my birdy...
... From: Peter Muennig ... Hi Peter, In my case you're right, but I can't justify my trepidation. In the triangulated part of the frame (top tube near the...
Alister, Marijk has a 10-years-old adjustable stem which she doesn't adjust. Between the two parts I fitted a plastic shim, from memory 0.28 mm thick. ...
A Velcro-strapped "Two Fish" cage/bottle works well (I have mine on the steering post facing forward. It does NOT interfere with folding. Bob ... From: juried...
As a less costly, but also less elegant, solution other than then Two Fish Cage/Bottle, you can use a "regular" cage secured to the steering post with...
Martin knows about structural engineering in bicycle tubing (we are lucky by happenstance to have him in our group). Trust his cautionary words. Bob ... From:...
or this - stick out the back a little but won't interfer with the fold http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/Cycle/7/Minoura_SBH-300_Dual_Bottle_Cage_Mount/5360020703/ ......

Dear Martin, Thanks for your advice re the adjustable stem: it makes a lot of sense. No, I have the new bearings, but haven't fitted them yet (I've been ...
I have to admit I'm not going to do it. I don't know what came over me to even ask it! I have done it on a Yeah (rebadged Dahon Helios) with excellent result. ...
While looking into suitable shim materials, I found most PET bottles are 0.25mm thick, and being plastic wont stuff up the anodising if you keep grit away. I...
Hi Jur I recommend first trying a CatEye plastic bottle holder secured with zip ties. It costs less than $5, is quick, is completely reversable, is completely ...
I did this today, had a Cateye cage and some large zipties spare. The Cateye cage works very well in this application, it has slots for the ties to go through...
hi While cleaning my Birdy the other day (after a couple of days somewhat muddy riding on a rail trail), the shiny steel plate on the chain side of the...

Older Birdy's, like mine, didn't have a chain protector. I've always used a oval cut long-ish piece of bicycle inner tube glued onto the bike. I like a glue...
