The Downtube website presents the Nova as an "entry level" model, but I see it more as a great foundation (frame/fork/handlepost) for serious customization. For a few hundred additional dollars, one could have a nicely spec'd folder, as good as any of the other models the company has offered over the years. For this reason, I think it would make great (biz) sense for Downtube to offer the Nova in two or three configurations, just as Dahon offers the Mu in several variations.
