The Montague Boston 8 is a full sized road bike that folds down into a compact unit in under 20 seconds. With a full sized frame, 8 gears and large 700c wheels, it's very fast, smooth to ride, and with all of these features, you'll still be able to fold it up and fit it into your closet or the trunk of your car.
