Hoping one of the dutch sellers/enthusiasts might be able to help me out here:

A friend has just moved to Amsterdam and wants a folding bike for commuting, pronto (it's for a new job she starts on Tuesday - in Rotterdam).

She is fairly tall (1.87m) and leggy, most of the 16" wheels ones are too small, so probably needs to be a 20".

Budget - ideally under €200 but up to €300 if it's worth it.
must have gears (3 is ok, 1 is not), would prefer regular (not coaster) brakes.
Happy to view and collect up to 25km from Amsterdam.

Let me know if you have anything suitable. Thanks!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
