Congrats on your latest acquisition. We have eerily similar bike choices....
One other caution worth bringing up. On my fakeStrida, the bottom bracket body is made out of a cheap plastic also. This caused a problem when I tried to tighten the drive belt tension bolt - the threads stripped. Not on the bolt (which was metal), but on the BB body. I replaced the BB with an original. Now, it rides very nicely. But, beware and be careful. I hope your fakeStrida is from a different mfg than mine.
