BTW, any idea what the case weighs?
You did see tmac's post about his dimensions... when he sets up the bike the saddle height will be about 4 inches higher and will be installing different bars... the flat bar allowed us to do some test riding but with any other bar I would not be able to handle the reach that the bike will have.
The tall head tube allows for a regular stem to be used with no spacers and eliminates the need for an extra long stem and seat tube as you often see on folders due to their low slung monotube design.
