Strengths:    - fits nicely in my trunk without removing even a wheel
- packs in a suitcase
- feels like a 'normal' bike
- strong.


Weaknesses:    - price
- flexes a bit more than a bike with triangle geometry. Air friday model flexes much more, I've seen it.
- tires choice is pretty small
- large chainrings are expensive.


Bottom Line:   
Very nice machine. Not as smooth as carbon or Ti, but very nice bike, I like it a lot.

It just feels like a normal road bike, you forget about the small wheels very fast. Before buying it I read the reviews about different types of folding bikes, and the Bike Fridays were getting the best reviews. An alternative is to install couplers on a regular bike.

I would really like if they could make carbon frames :-)))
