SOLD

The Quest 451 is Cruzbike's 20" wheel front and rear suspension suitcase transportable travel bike. It packs into a Samsonite F'lite suitcase and fits a x-seams ranging from 36" to 47". My x-seam is 45" and I was surprised how comfortable this folder is.

Didn't go out to the garage and count but it is the version 1 configuration which according to the specs is

"3 x 9 speed; Speedwheel 130BCD chainrings 30 / 42 / 52 teeth on the front (alloy 6061), and 11 to 32 teeth on the rear sprocket cluster (11,12,14,16,18,21,24,28,32) driven by 155 mm cranks"

How did you mount the Sun EZ-1SC Underseat Bike Rack?

The frame has what I think are water bottle attachments points underneath the seat pan. I attached the water bottle cages to the seat back and used the under seat ones for the rack.

Oh very cool, I forgot all about those! I figured those were some kind of oops as I couldn't think of anything to mount there.

I've always kind of liked the 451 Quest with the more conventional drivetrain. I think I could use that model on my KICKR trainer. Hmmm, tempting.

Tire

Which is the widest tire the V1 takes? Both front and rear?

Which is the widest tire the V1 takes? Both front and rear?

The Quest came with Kenda Kwest 28-451 (1-1/8") tires which is the only 451 width these Kwests come in. There is room for a wider tire in the rear but not the front. You can change to 406 disc brake wheels with wider tires.

Nanda (http://www.spincyclz.com/) created a Quest 406 Tour with I believe Schwalbe Big Apple 50-406 front and rear (there is a complete series of images like the one below under the SpinCyclz 'spin pix' menu choice).
