They also carry a steel model complete with fenders and rack that could easily compete with the Citizenbike Miami for almost $40 less...
Greenzone's folder looks like a good deal for the money, but I wouldn't put it in the same class as the Nova. For one, it appears to lack quick-release hubs and eyelets for mounting a rack and fenders. Also, the handlepost does not look as sturdy as the one spec'd on the Nova. I would, however, compare it to the Citizen Gotham, a bike that I also see as being one class under the Nova.
