Cool! I say we let this forum and our buying power speak. If enough people post here and or write the companies in question they will perhaps be more likely to listen and accomodate. I hope a lot of people post and write them. I will send them the important parts of this and other threads once they die out. At the very least it will inform them of the people and opinions of some of the people here as well as these boards themselves.

Perhaps if people get (negatory) replies on their inquiries we can post them here as well.

I really like the Swift too although i do feel the BF is a somewhat superior bike (for my taste anyway) in terms of material/weight and folding capabilities.

Maybe if someone engineers/builds their own BF clone they can try and improve upon the BF folding. It is the only thing i would like to see get somewhat better/smaller.
