It wasn't a Presto Lite like advertised but I wasn't complaining at all. Where are you going to get a mint Presto for $150.00 dollars?
Indeed, it was a good deal! Hopefully, I don't sound suspicious on the phone. But I thought it was a Presto Light, too. And I didn't really need it. Congrats!
The bike definitely wasn't stolen. She was a very nice lady.
Incidentally, one can pick up a real Presto in Beijing for about $160. Before I knew anything about folding bikes, my girlfriend and I bought decent imitations (probably worth about $200 here) for $60 each and rode all over the city with them. These bikes were well under 20 pounds (9.7Kg) and had a nice stiff alloy frame and decent rims, but lousy tires and hubs. Good place to get a bike.
