let me tell you about my citizen tokyo. i bought one used for $100 and thought at that time that it's such a good deal for a used folding bike. i rode and used it for about a month or so and realized that it's not what i wanted. for one i can't roll it while folded, it's way too heavy to be carried, gearings are so low, sub par components. but boy, it started my folderitis. i decided to sell it for $125 and went CL way to find a used dahon. i was able to find a used boardwalk D6 for $125 and the difference is like night and day. trust me - been there done that. between citizen bikes and dahons, it's dahon for me now. just my 2 cents and probably personal preference.....
