I happened to see one in Central Park recently...maybe over the weekend. From a distance it looked like a Dahon (i.e. very upright riding position), but the green color is quite spiffy looking. I don't know anything about the quality of the ride or the components, though.
Afterward, I did a search on Schwinn folders to get a better idea of what I had seen and likewise found it on the
Costco website. I assumed that the 39 pounds was the shipping weight and that the bike itself would be a bit lighter, but that's just speculation on my part.
