Found this model for cheap on Craigslist is it decent?
 

First thanks for the help many have been lending over the past few days posting here regarding folding bikes it has been very appreciated. While posting an ad for a friends car on CL I wandered into the bike section and found this model:

"Must Go Moving $100"

I made an appointment for the first thing this morning. If everything checks out are these pretty reliable? As you can see from the link retail is much more anyways.
I will most likely snag it up surely someone else is thinking the same thing if I don't get it this morning.

There seem to be some fans. Its a cheap folder, so won't be as nice or fold as neatly a some of the high end brands. But at $100, can't really go wrong - you can always resell without too much of a loss if it doesn't work out for you.

Yeah, I'd probably grab it if looks to be in decent shape. If you're not handy working on bikes, you should probably budget another $25-50 to have an LBS check it out and make things right.

My girlfriend has the Gotham2 model. I've mentioned it before on the "pics" thread, its a solid, reliable folder. However, it seems much heavier than other folders and takes up a little more room when folded. Otherwise, I haven't noticed any problems with it. It looks like a good deal for $100, as long as nothing serious is wrong with the bike.


I'd also recommend having a bike shop check it out if you don't have experience working on bikes.

I would've bought it too for that price.

Its a nice bike.
