rex615, a few q.'s:
1- how decent is the wheel set? any idea of the rear hub spacing?
2- would the decals be easily removable?
3- are there 2 kickstand mounts on this thing, or is that just clamped on to the stay?
4- are the seattube internals pretty smooth, i.e. will it work well with the stock Q/R for easy drop-the-post stowage?
5- am looking for good ideas for hacking together a q/r "foldable" stem/steerer...
I am in the Big Apple till this weekend, so I don't have the bike here. I will check then and reply. For now.....
1- Single wall alloy wheels with machined braking surfaces. The spokes aren't stainless steel. I think the rear spacing is 130mm, but I will check. The wheel of my Catrike Trail fits with no problem and it has a standard 9 speed cassette.
2 - The Citta logo seems to be paint not a decal, that or it is under clear coat.
3 - Yes there are two kickstand mounts, one in the regular place, behind the BB bracket and on on the chainstay near the rear axle.
4 - I need to check, but I think so.
5 - Fork is threadless, but I guess you could still use a quill type stem with hinge like some folders use.
