So, my hubby finally got his Gotham2! It's pretty cool.

Here are pics of it folded and unfolded, and also a pic of it next to my Barcelona.

Delivery was super-speedy as with our other CB order, though the bike needed some extra adjustment when it arrived. The handlebars weren't aligned with the front wheel (quite noticeably), and they didn't send the hex wrench that would be needed to adjust it (I think this is an adjustment they don't think you're supposed to make yourself--they send the tools for the adjustments they do expect you to be making). Whoever did the final inspection clearly missed that one!

Compared to the Barcelona, the G2 folds up WAAAAAY tighter and smaller. I am still madly in love with my cruiser, but wow--it's no where near that tidy of a package.

He ordered the "large" size, and while my Barcelona is the "medium" size (those are the only two sizes they offer), there seems to be almost no difference is frame size. I have no idea if a medium G2 or a large Barcelona would look very different, but these sure don't.

He hasn't ridden it really yet, so I'll update when he has.

On a side note: we're so happy we found the world of folding bikes! We thought we'd have to be bikeless in our temporary living situation, and now we're thinking we can maybe ditch our old, cumbersome bikes altogether!
