Forged LP Frame Hinge
The hinge is the most critical part of any folding bicycle frame. The hinge battles huge forces coming from different directions so it must be immensely strong. Yet, it must allow a quick and easy fold, cannot be too heavy, should look good, and is best if unobtrusive. Almost all of these are opposing design goals. In 2004, our forged hinges were extremely strong but in our opinion, too chunky. So for 2005 we introduce our sleek new LP (low profile) hinges that blend into the lines of the frame. We've taken unnecessary weight out of the hinges with intricate ribbing on the interior. The new LP hinges are beautifully forged and machined - the finest folding hinges on the market.
