Dear Bass:

When I ordered my bike on Christmas Eve they said they were low on stock, but they would have them in again. I had to get the black bike because they were out of the red. The bike does fold up into a quite small size.

Dear Darukhan:

I looked at quite a few folders in Philadelphia: Brompton (way too expensive), Dahon (I did not like the folding joint, there is no way to fix it when it wears out), Tern (essentially a Dahon with a better folding bracket) Citizen (I saw too many for sale on Craigslist, one honest owner told me he felt they were too "twitchy" to ride for any distance) and another nameless brand I can't remember. I chose the Greenzone becuase the frame was steel (I LOVE steel bikes) and the hubs. Also Ed's glowing review was the final thing to help me decide on the bike. I also have to admit that I like the price. My sister used to live in Texas and said that she had a few friends who had a Greenzone and they were happy. John
