The Downtube FS is a great value for the price, but not in the same league as the Moulton or Kamtsa's current ride, a Bike Friday NWT. The Downtube is much heavier, the components are not in the same league, the front suspension is not that great. I had one, and I liked it, but it is not as refined. It's more of a starter bike.

I think the Reach is worth a good comparison test ride.
