My wife has the Barcelona. For her it's a great bicycle. She is 5'-1"+ a bit. I have ridden it some but I'm not totally sold on the frame hinge/lock assembly on this particular one, at my weight anyway. I'm about 175 lbs. I notice on the latest photos on their web site that they have changed something with the frame lock lever at least. So maybe it's an improvement. I think the rest of the bicycle is nicely put together. The gearing is too low for my likes. CitizenBike was good to work with. They offered to replace this bike when I complained but I wasn't interested with fussing around with the repacking and shipping. I be more inclined to stick it in the attic and forget about it. If you get one I'd like to see close up photos of the newer frame hinge and lock assembly.
