It looks OK for what it is. There are a lot worse at this price I suppose. The following is a better bike but doesn't have mudguards and carrier if you need this:

The bike you found is a good way to get introduced to folding bikes.

Wow that Avelo site is so slow loading, I do like their £7.99 folding hook-over basket though & will be gving them a link
BTW You can now get Downtubes inthe UK from Velochocolate (http://www.velochocolate.co.uk) who are based in Southampton

Safe sunny riding Chop!

Velochocolate will be great place to buy latest Downtube 2008 models but the FS 2007 model on ebay is also a bargain. It should be easy to get a rear mountain bike style mudguard which is the most crucial for preventing rear wheel spray in wet weather. The front frame acts as a mudguard to some extent.
