any reason to choose one bicycle over another?

Correction: The Origami Crane is only $289.00 (The Cricket with full suspension is $339.00). The Origami and the Downtube are aluminum, the Citizen is steel. If weight does not matter, you may want to consider the added comfort of a fully suspended bike (the Cricket is still about 2 lbs lighter than the Miami).
