You still cannot fit a 1/2way into an internationally accepted luggage without 40+ minutes of disassembly. I believe the best thing to do is to ride one and get into your own conclusions. I gave a Halfway to my girlfriend, she was happy with it for over one year. But after riding my Downtube FS she wanted one, and I don't blame her. My opinion: if you have US$500,00, you are way better off with a Dahon than with a halfway, UNLESS what you want is to impress people with an exotic design. I have to agree that the single fork (front and back) looks really good, but that's about it for me.
