I was glad to see a folding model (the "REACH Racing") calling itself a road bike, but disappointed to see that, like all folders (AFAIK), these models don't come in different frame sizes as road bikes do. So larger riders be warned - you will feel cramped and have to make modifcations that will only partially compensate for the frame being too small. If I'm wrong about this bike, someone please correct me.

This is also a gripe about my Swift which is too small for me (5' 10", 35" cycling inseam) despite having ordered a large size suited to riders up to 6'. I've been told in these forums that Birdys are better this way but haven't triked one yet.
