The 16" Citizen Tokyo might be a little too small if you are taller than 5'-8" for full leg extension, in which case I recommend the 20" Miami. I also must add that they don't fold as compactly as other more expensive folders due to the way the handlebars fold to the outside. Other than that, I've found the recent production (post 2011 redesign)Citizen bikes to be lovely, much more-so than one would expect for the price-point. They are heavier and lack some refinement in the hinge design/fold design, but the finish and manufacturing quality are now quite good.
