Thanks for the recognition!

My Downtube/Cruzbike conversion cost under $1,000, not counting the upgraded Velocity wheels. Since then, there have been several other people who have utilized the Cruzbike kit on a variety of folder platforms:

- a Downtube VIIIH with the internal hub (a great job!), http://alysion.org/peba/index.php?topic=5.0
- an Downtube IXNS, http://sports.ph.groups.yahoo.com/gr...os/browse/7e71
- a Downtube Front Suspension model with a 26" wheel and mtb forks in front, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzU4mWCZwz0
- a Dahon Helios http://sports.ph.groups.yahoo.com/gr...os/browse/6fce.

Maybe this combination doesn't have the bling factor of a Bike Friday product, but it's very pleasing and affordable. I think it looks great too.
