Since it's full forked and stayed, I'd call it a Giant Wholeway, or maybe just a Giant Way.
Anyway, The Trek 600 is a fairly well specified bike that's not very heavy(22lbs I believe) and should ride pretty fast and pretty well. There's a few of them around very inexpensively at bikeshop closeouts around here. I saw one for $435 just the other day on Long Island. I haven't ridden one though, so all comments are from afar.

Thanks for the background dg1.
I'm fairly new to the latest folding bike developments, but having wanted one for many years, I would occasionally see what's out there. It looks like the Dahons have really evolved. I remember the earlier models of decades ago being rather heavy. Now I learn that Trek is in the game too. The Airnimals looks interesting as well, but "interesting" always brings a price.
