I am very impressed with the bike. I bought refurbished and I would have believed it was brand new. Great packaging, and came ready to ride with correct tire pressure and working brakes. Even with a heavy focus on a lightweight, foldable design, there is no perceptible sacrifice in build quality, which is amazing. The upright seating position is less comfortable, but a gel cushion goes a long way to make up for that. I have enjoyed using this bike on my 21km commute, and the value is fantastic.
