Can somoene explain to me why, now that the bike is materializing, there are all these posts bashing it? Why not just wait for the real life reviews? Sorry, I just don't get putting out all the negative vapor over something that can now actually be given real use reviews. The bike isn't going to be ideal for everyone, I don't want 24" wheels on a folder, but I am sure it will completely fit the needs of some. Imo all folding bikes are niche products (evidenced by sales #), and if this fills a niche (I didn't even know existed) then that's great. The more folders the better. I completely understood all the negativity and snark when there wasn't a bike -- made this thread fascinating and fun, lol. It just seems misplaced now that the bike is delivering and it's possible to judge it on real merits. To that end - are there any reviews out there yet********** Can't wait to read 'em.
