@JosephLMonti,

For some reason, my digital camera is not very good at taking wide photos so taking one with my old Qile Duo, and the new Greenzone say, end to end, wouldn't be easy. However, I did take separate pictures of each, and then side to side. The white wall tire in the foreground belongs to my room mate's bike.

First is my old bike, the Qile Duo VSTII:



Now my new Greenzone VE:



Now the two together. The Qile Duo is the one in front:



Perhaps you noticed the Qile Duo's handlebar is about the height of the seat. It is a relatively short handle post. The Greenzone however has a handle post that can be adjusted high enough for a more upright riding position.

The Qile Duo's seat is also higher because the bottom bracket sits directly under the seat tube unlike the Greenzone with a more forward mounted one.

The Qile Duo used to be a 5 speed but back in 2010, I took it to a local bike shop just to change a flat tire, and somehow they ruined the rear axle. I decided to convert it to a single speed, and bought a 20 inch wheel with a coaster brake hub. I kept the front caliper brake, and it works great. My only complaint with this bike is that the rear suspension has a soft spring coil that robs a good deal of efficiency.

The Greenzone seems to be about 1 inch shorter in wheelbase than the QD probably because of the rear suspension swing arm on the VSTII.

In spite of the nice performance of the new bike, the QD is a keeper, and will continue to be my commuter. It too, is a tough little bike.
