on UK ebay, the T-Rida, recommended retail price 399 pounds, just a little over the shop price of the genuine article ! + 35 quid for a stravel/storage bag. A couple of other strange looking auctions for this design on ebay at the moment.

12Kg .. ouch, normally 10Kg .. maybe its steel ?

Hmmm. It'd need to be cheaper than £150 for me to chance my arm before anyone else does.

A USED Strida 5.0 has just sold for 170 pounds in london ! two weeks ago new ones on ebay were topping shop prices. What's going on, are UK folder fanatics on holiday, or are Strida prices mirroring the fall in house prices, are they set to become the new economic indicator ? We should be told !

It was white though, they don't look at there best in white, do they ?
