Pretty build for sure.
? How does the frame compare with the Montague FIT? I like Changes use of the FoldFlat stem
Don't have a Montague FIT, though I've viewed a Crosstown years ago at the local distributor.
Generally, I think they are more the same than they are different.
Very similar fold.
The advantage to the Change is the mounting on the chainstay for the front wheel when it is detached.
The advantage to the Montague is that its only one top lock/latch to undo for folding the bike (safety wise, advantage is to the Change with its 2 latch system though)
The Montague is Size 19 smallest, which does not fit me at all. (best a 15 for me, and shaving it at size 17 )
I think I'd be happy with either bike (provided the Size 19 Montague fits me )
To think about it, if I had got that CrossTown when I started it all, I'd probably have stopped at that one folding bike instead of going from 18" > 406 > 451 > 650b in wheel size/bike.
