In any case, I just unfolded my Xootr swift and couldn't put the seatpost into the seat tube. The reason: the seat stays had broken a bit below the pivot right by the lower seat post quick release. I'm attaching a picture.

I guess a crack might have been there for a while, but I never noticed it and had ridden the bike earlier today and then folded it with no problem that I noticed.

I've emailed Xootr, but couldn't expect anyone to get back to me until after the holiday weekend. Has any one else had anything like this happen to them?
Thanks,
