Agreed.
I can't remember reading any postings at all where Bike Firday owners had their tour cancelled because they could not get parts or frame failure. Friday owners have toured all over the world without any problems because these are solid bikes and the smaller wheel is actually stronger than one with 700 cc. There are problems the Bike Friday has regarding touring (rougher ride, smaller wheelbase) but component failure is not one of them.
