Just got my hands on this vintage folding bike, and it ticks a lot of boxes for my xbiking brain:
✅ Cool color scheme
✅ Small wheels (18”)
✅ Wild frame design
✅ All-Terrain (Full suspension)
It’s not cargo hauler or a bikepacking machine… yet. 😄
From what I’ve seen, there’s quite an active Birdy community in Taiwan and Japan. Is anybody from that community around here?
I’d like to find out the manufacturing year of this bike and get some recommendations on how to fit 18” Schwalbe Billy Bonkers tires. (As far as I know, that’s another prerequisite for turning it into a proper xbike.)

A red Riese & Müller Birdy folding bike with small wheels and visible suspension leans against a tree in a green garden. The view shifts to the rider’s perspective navigating a paved pump track, before showing the cycle folded on cobblestones.
Fucking awesome.
