FYI, Flossie can be retrofit. I'm doing that on a steel terry isis as we speak. She is supposed to be shipped after thanksgiving from Bilenky Cyle Works, recommended to me by Georgena Terry http://www.bilenky.com/Retrofits.html

My understanding is that s/s packed bikes require more technical knowledge to assemble than a bike friday but are very robust. I hate to say it but at this point I would return those bike fridays for a full refund while you still can. Something has happened to their quality control, and you have given them ample time to fix it. This goes way deeper than one bad employee that is no longer there.
