All I can say is that having a bike that fits you perfectly, whether it is a folder or not, is priceless. And BF is the only (I think) folder that is custom sized. Since I got this bike, my annual riding mileage is nearly double because of the extreme comfort. It does spoil you, though, so it is good they travel easily - I won't rent a bike anywhere anymore. My previous bikes (Treks) were nice but not dialed in so perfectly that I didn't notice my body at all (in a negative way) while riding. I'm literally "floating" on my BF! Keep us posted.
