The seats look they are kind of angled up.

I saw a guy cruising on one of those on the Amazing Race.

White makes things look bigger than black does. And it pops the chain ring better.

I saw your site and you mentioned, customization... how short can you get the cranks on the full size CRIUS folding bike (as pictured)--e.g., 90mm?

+1 for black, although you can't go wrong with either. I prefer the black.

sooooo a multi speed 14" wheeled folding bike based on the dahon dove but this one is souped up with all lite pro parts and i'm betting around 8KG or UNDER total bike weight!

look like a winner to me! I have a 14" wheeled bike and it's a blast to ride to work and sooo easy to hide!

for my vote it goes to black! white would get dirty real fast and a pain to keep clean.

EDIT: where the heck did you even find a multi speed for that size of a wheel? most of the 14" folders I looked at are generally 1 speed.

Did you forget to feed the chain through the derailleur? Re:What is wrong w/the photo.

Yup, I think Moondoggy is right. Instead of the chain coming from underneath the RD lower jockey wheel, it's on top, or at least that's the way it appears in the pic. There also appears to be an RD bash guard or some such so it's kinda hard to tell where said jockey wheel sits in relation to the rest of the bike.

There's no derailer, it is a hubgear... Possibly the gear cable arm is angled wrong due to incorrect anti-rotation washers? Hard to see... I don't see anything else wrong.

The black one has more bling appeal. The white is a more plain kind of effect.

Oh and white. I think both bikes would look better with black chainring guards and pedals. I guess I'm boring.

Seatpost on the black one is reversed... adjusting bolt is way too long in front ..... even for a sub 500 dlr folder, the dealer assembly should be correct..lol... hint of course I will turn the seatpost around ... I almost think I ll keep one for myself .. it doesn't break the bank and its really fun to ride around. :-) The pedals are nice and light, but I will probably put some folding pedals on it, MKS even to make it fold super small ...
