Montague folding bikes can be found all over the world, and due to the versatility provided by their folding design they’re often the bike of choice for touring. One Montague rider undertook a journey from Genoa, Italy all the way to Jerusalem, Israel on his Montague X70. These are pictures from Alessandro’s journey.

Cannot find your RackStand anywhere. …. if anyone has managed to order one of these for their Paratrooper please advise….
It’s just becoming available now. It’s taken longer than expected, which we apologize for. However, it is currently available in the US through Quality Bicycle Products (QBP), the largest parts distributor in the country. Most bike shops in the US already order from them regularly so your local shop should be able to get one for you. The QBP part number is RK0200.
I also ride this awesome bike for touring! How did Allesandro fasten the front bags? My bike’s fork does not have the screws necessary for that. Is there an extra part?
I’m not sure about this exact rack, but there are several models that can clamp around the vertical section of the forks without needing eyelets to screw into. A front rack does prevent you from folding the bike as flat as possible though.
May I know where to get the mudguards for both Front and Back? I have been trying to get one for my Paratrooper Pro.
