Wonderful! Bike Fridays are a little funny looking compared to full-sized bikes, but they are so fun to ride and versatile.
Congratulations on your new bike.

Oh, that's just darling! (I have a Bike Friday Pocket Crusoe so am slightly biased.
) How did you get a chainring to match? I've never seen that -- neato!
Enjoy the ride!!!

They're bikes worth being biased for!

I ordered the power raspberry color, and they did the rest. Dunno specifically how the chainring got to be the same color, but I'm not complaining. It is really cool

I think the chainring is the same color when you only have one ring in the front. Looks like that's the dual drive, right?
On the seat mast - make sure you tighten the quick release. It shouldn't more until you release it, when you're ready to fold.
Pretty bike I was between that color and the purple, and I got the purple...

Neat-looking bike. The color of the Brooks saddle really complements the bike color. I'm not a big fan of pink, but that raspberry--yum! Enjoy!

Is this bike comfortable to ride? It looks really small in the picture, would love to see pics of you on it for comparison.
Love the color!

The seat mast is fine. The problem I was having with the seat is that it wouldn't stay at the angle I set it at. The seat post had a "hook" shaped piece of metal and a single screw to hold the seat on and in place. Except the screw was in a "neutral" position when the seat was tilted nose-up, and it kept wanting to return to that position. I replaced the seatpost with a Thompson one, that is much more stable. I just couldn't have my bike trying to throw me off like that!
I was debating between raspberry and candy apple red. You see which one I chose
