The funbike design is far stronger. Not reliant on a weak pin to take the strain whilst pedalling, two struts rather than one. I would only be interested in the frame - Once a pair of mavics and some disc brakes have been added there would be an ok folder.
It will only be a matter of time before it happens to someone else. The more I look at the swissbike design, the more I realise it is completely flawed.
