Unfortunately none of my LBS stock any - the closest dealer for Montague is College Park.
Why Montague? Their bikes aren't particularly that exciting, most of them use pretty low end components or a mix of a few nice things and a lot of cheaper stuff. If you really need a folding bike with larger wheels then sure Montague has that market but if you are more using it for travel, S&S couplers and Ritchey Breakaway is a way better way to go and you can get a much nicer bike and probably fit it into a smaller area.
If you don't need any of that then get a regular bike that doesn't fold or breakdown and you will have a fantastic ride without adding extra weight and you can spend more money on components then you would with other mechanisms. As soon as you start adding stuff to a bike the cost goes up, so things like suspension, folding mechanisms, ETC. will either make the bike cost more or they will use cheaper components that may not work as well and last as long plus you have more point of failure.
The few times I have seen Montagues in the wild have been those Hummer Bikes which are pretty bad and most of the people riding them are just riding it because it says Hummer and that seems cool to some people.
