Folding bike
I'm not really in the market for a folder, but I ran across this on ebay.
OMSTAR Compact Folding Bike
Anyone ever ride an OMStar folder?
Is it really worth the $110 dollars, (after shipping) that they are asking?
It seems like a pretty reasonable price for a multi-speed folder, but it could just be another "bikesdirect" clunker.

It is a clunker with the absolute cheapest parts money can buy. These are destined for landfills. Ridden a few times, found to be severaly wanting and then consigned to the garage for 7.3 years, after which they get put out on the street following unsuccessful ebay sale.
Caveat: I have never ridden one and may be pleasantly surprised. Unlikely, though.
