I've just purchased a Halfway, identical to the one in your picture except in an orangy-yellow color. I picked it up here in Taiwan for about US$400, but of course I don't know if it has the same specs as yours. One thing I'm curious about is the fold size. On the suspension model the two wheels naturally cannot get as close as on the mono frame model. However, I feel that the rear spindle (is that the right word?) is unecessarily long. It seems to me that if it were shorter or the design was just slightly different, the two wheels could come at least an inch closer. I know it doesn't sound much, but for carrying and storing purposes it would make quite a difference. Incidentally, I notice that the velcro strap supplied to me is on the short side and it's not easy to get a tight fit around the front and rear forks. It's almost as if it's expected that the wheels should get closer together! How do you use yours?

P.S. Have you tried taking the bike on trains or buses yet?
