I have the opportunity to be one of the lucky few to try out the road version on reach from David @ Rad-Innovations.com the distributer of Reach. Here's my take.

1) Very user friendly once you get used to the taking apart and putting it together. Definitely need to be shown how to get it done efficiently.
2) Very ajustable Stems Handle & Seat. I am 5'10" there is still afew " of stem length left for the handle bar and tons left for the seat post.
3) Very smooth ride. I took it down to a paved trail in Richland WA. The famous Columbia River Trail that span the Tri city river front of Richland, Kennewick & Pasco. The Richland part is about 10 miles long with short interval of hill but mainly flat. The ride was smooth. The Shift was very resposive. The only annoying thing is the clicking coming from the front wheel area. Cover the round trip in <1 hour (go figure!).
The other two model I have not tried. I will give the report when I get a chance.
Here are some shots I took.

I hope this is not too much info. I am sure this will give a good alternative to Bike Friday at a very UN Bike Friday $$$$.
