Alright, I give, Bike Friday it is. I'll keep my eye on that Pocket Rocket currently on the 'bay (and any others that pop up in the future). I wish the seller had the size listed at first, I'd have probably jumped on the buy it now .

In the meantime, anyone have any opinions on this New World Tourist on CL?

Bike Friday Folding Bike

I have a friend in MN who could take care of buying and shipping, but I don't know much about age and it seems rather oddly equipped, like some better parts were harvested and some junk was put on in its place. I mean, triple crank with no FD? Seems at minimum the drivetrain, seatpost, and saddle need replacing. Is this a deal at 550 + shipping anyways or a pass given the oddities?

Thanks again for all the help folks - I'll stop harassing you with this thread soon, I promise
