Build quality with the Pacific Cycle's Reach will be excellent .. that you have found a new IF Reach is cool.. AFAIK, they've been discontinued .. one of my customer's had one and really liked it. the suspension is what sets the bike apart from most folders and makes a huge difference in the real world .. the quick fold and ability to roll easily on its wheels is great if you need those features .. I still ride my non-IF Reach Road most everyday and was my first choice for an e-assist project .. excellent ride characteristics and non-proprietary drivetrain components are a big plus..
