No one's blaming you, haha. $200 is not a small amount, you can get pretty decent non-folding bikes for that much. It's the folding design which increases the cost.

Yep.

Since you said you'll be carrying the bike up and down a lot, you want a bike that's convenient to hold. Storage is another factor. Both these criteria really only point to folders.

I can't imagine happily doing a regular 15 mile commute on any 16-inch folder, to tell you the truth.

I would suggest going for 20" tires initially. Like Bendembroski said, there is a wider range of 20" tires. It will make some (though not much) difference in the ride as well. 15 miles is a long...

Frankly, an aluminium road bike over $1200 is a little overpriced imo.

You must obviously be referring to the price.

Hmm.. I guess you could say I haven't really found a bike that hits the sweet spot weight-wise, bbmike.
