Thanks - I've had the Liberte for 5 years. Purchased it when I was traveling regularly to Washington DC by train and bus. Rode around much of the capital with it, on much of the bike infrastructure there, including a ~27 mile loop around the perimeter of the city.
Headset was binding a little when I first purchased it. Quick adjustment. Been through three sets of brake pads. Recently regreased the hubs. Wheels still true.
As the photo suggests, it's my in town grocery getter these days. Easy to store and, even with the panners and basket, pretty light to haul up and down he stairs to my basement.
Overall, it's been a great little bike. I recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable folder. My Bike Fridays ride more like full-sized bikes, but the Zizzo was cheap and not so precious that I'd be super bummed if it was stolen.
