I'm planning to take advantage of my permanent residency visa for NZ and bugger off there for four months to escape the joys of the coming winter.
While I'm there I'm intending to do some brevets in the South Island, mostly 200's but I have some longer - and rather hilly - rides in my sights.
I'd been planning to buy a second hand drop-bar Airnimal Joey for the trip from my neighbour, but have just discovered that it isn't a Joey, it's a flat-barred, Rohloff-equipped, weighs a ton Rhino
. So that probably isn't going to happen.
Now I know Wilkyboy and others OTP think that a Brompton is a
perfectly suitable bike for longish hilly rides, but I don't. In fact my Brommy is currently up for sale on ebay because I was planning to use it to part fund the Airnimal. So I'm looking for options - a Joey, a Chameleon, maybe even a separable Moulton. I could just pack a regular bike but I'd prefer something that fits into a suitcase rather than a bike box as there will be luggage and a grumpy teenage daughter joining me for the trip.
It also needs to fit one of these

Any thoughts? Better still, anyone got anything they want to sell? I'm 6 foot 1 and normally ride a 58cm road bike.
Will post a note in the "wanted" forum too, but I think this requires specialist advice
