Just wanted to say that I've had the bike serviced and a few niggling faults sorted out (brake cables wrong way round, couldn't engage all five gears, rear shock too hard) and the bike's a winner.
Used it for the first time last week in its intended purpose i.e. cycled into town, folded it up, took it into a shop to pick up something, unfolded it and cycled home.
If I'd walked, that entire sequence of events would've taken about 90 minutes. Cycling - 40 minutes, including a 10 minute wait in the shop.
Brilliant!
The bike is fast, comfortable and handles well, and it fits perfectly into my new Dahon El Bolso carry bag.
I am very happy.
