Yes, I know, I am supposed to be pushing you toward Origami, but we don't have anything in the $200 range and I would rather see you get a decent bike and develop your love of folders. You can get an Origami next time. :-)
Forgive me for perhaps misinterpreting what you are saying, but it sounds like you are referring to the bikes from Camping World as not being decent. True, they are of lower quality. I mean, lets face it, you do get what you pay for . . . for the most part, but for slightly less than $200, I have to say that they are decent enough. I have no complaints and I have been riding it for a few weeks now. Granted, if one could come up with a tad more folding money, I'm sure the Origami that you sell is of far greater value. As far as the Citizen Tokyo etc, well perhaps they are a little better than the Adventure brand from Camping World, but I decided to go with them because of seeing them first hand. I wouldn't have too much problem buying a more higher end bike online, but not a cheaper model unless I was able to see it first hand if indeed it was up to snuff, so to speak . . . for the price that is.

I did view the models you have on your site and I do like what I see. One question. Does any of your models come with chromed seat posts and handlebar posts? As much as I like the looks of the black posts, I would be a little concerned of the possibility that the said posts might become scratched over time. Very nice looking bikes though.
