evilv hit it on the head. considering how much they charge for these things, its hard to justify overpaying for something that could just as fall apart in 'weeks', as their 'knock-offs'.
Who here is to say that brands lesser known than coveted brompton, or ralliegh, are going to 'fall apart in weeks'?
so is every bike that suddenly uses an A-frame design a knock-off strida? I agree that ripping off the marketing materials and not generating any of their own graphics etc etc makes for a really sour impression.
just look at the other ebay strda thread and look at my pics, that is a copy that i hope doesn't make it to north america since that one is really flimsy..
