Bike Saturday owners are a very proud group who love their machines.
I'm a big fan of the MBB (moving bottom bracket), not so much the twisted chain (although to be fair, I've never ridden one, so I'd love to try).

BOMA carbon fiber folding bike. 7.2kg. seems like it would be a good candidate for a gates belt-drive build. super-sleek:

The mixie straight edge looks like it is a good bit longer that the respect bike. I was shying away from the respect mini velo on account of quite how short the wheel base is. I am waiting on a geomerty chart from mixie tech support right now, i will let you know
