I was checking out a couple options, and I really dig the One-Way Tikit (17.7lbs!) and the Seasons Tikit. I looked at Brompton, but wasn't impressed with the folding, having to reset my seatpost height every time would get old quick. I don't plan on doing any major touring, but I still have plans to ride to St. Catharines in the late sumer, and everything I've read so far makes me think that the Tikits will handle that no problem, if I'm up to the physical exertion.

One thing I noticed was the weight limit on the Bike Fridays. I'm a pretty big guy, and I'm feeling pretty chunky after a winter of inactivity, so I would probably need to go for the heavy rider upgrade, which (I believe) necessitates ordering straight from Bike Friday.

If I dig the Tikit, and the 16" wheels, I think I'll probably end up selling my Paddy Wagon to help fund this purchase. Do you guys think $900 is too much for a package of a 54cm 2009 Paddy Wagon, brand new conti gatorskins, SKS Chromoplastic fenders, a CycleOps trainer + the old tires so you don't bust up the gatorskins, a Lezyne classic floor drive and a Kryptonite Mini + Kryptoflex cord, with 2 extra years of coverage? I have my doubts about anyone going for all of that at once, but is the price pretty accurate for craigslist?
