Imported Xootr Swift foldable bicycle for sale
I have a foldable bicycle that I'm selling. It's lightweight, compact and rides great. I bought it directly from the manufacturer years ago and brought it with me here to Buenos Aires from the United States. It is a very highly rated folding bicycle; in fact, it is rated by some as the best overall folding bicycle because of its sturdiness and the fact that it uses standard (non-proprietary) bicycle parts, which makes it easy to repair wherever you are in the world. (I have taken the bike to Canaglia here in Buenos Aires for checkups, adjustments etc.)

Take a look at the specifications on the manufacturer's website.

It has served me well in Buenos Aires. I used it to commute to work from Cañitas to Congreso last year. The bike fits in elevators if you fold it. Also, I was able to carry it folded through a shopping mall in Florida street when I was going to the office of my Spanish tutor. That way I never left it on the street; I always brought the bike inside with me. I even rode the bicycle to Tigre and back one day. It has 8 gears which allows you to fly on flat terrain (e.g. I have passed cars on Libertador) and also climb very steep hills. (e.g. Ayacucho between Posadas and Alvear in Recoleta). Despite the potholes and perils that can come with riding a bicycle in a big city I surprisingly have not even had a single flat tire here in Buenos Aires.
There are many reviews of the bike on the web, such as these:

You can buy this bicycle new for $750 USD in the United States. My price is $700 USD, used, here in Argentina. I'm only selling the bicycle because I will be backpacking soon and the bike--portable as it is--doesn't fit in my travel backpack.
I am throwing in all of my accesories to sweeten the deal even further: a silver bike helmet of excellent quality, a cable lock, a portable tire pump, two LED lights/blinkers for safety, and a bell (which you can ring to gently notify pedestrians that you are approaching). The LED lights/blinkers and bell are mounted on the bike, as you can see in the pictures.
Contact me with any questions or if you want to come by and take a look!
