I think he meant that it is possible to take it apart, which is good if you need to get it into a really small space (ie suitcase for air travel). Getting the bike into a suitcase is the breakaway's goal, which requires the disassembly.

I haven't heard much about the breakaway (edit: the ritchey branded ones) models in these forums. I'm curious if they've fared well. I have 2 S&S bikes and difficulty with them, aside from time required to get them into the small space, is that the other components you end up taking apart experience more wear and tear than was intended in their design. So slowly but surely you're rounding off bolts, weakening fasteners, weakening threads. So while the main folding component will be fine, the other parts won't.
