I'm been happily oblivious about the newer folding bikes for the past several years...until I went to the Bike Friday page.

Has anyone had a chance to try the new Pakit?
I didn't know it was a kickstarter thing until just this morning...and it passed!

The thing seems to tick several boxes for me: light, simple, mostly proprietary parts, great reputation for durability from a great company, and being a bike friday--probably decent riding.

I'm not sure if I'll retire my Xootr Swift anytime soon.
However, this bike ismighty tempting.
