Thanks to both of you for the info.

My main concern is that the bike be durable and comfortable. All I've read about them suggests that they are, as MomOnBike noted, quality work. And certainly I'll have to test-ride one to satisfy myself as to the comfort issue. But I'm still in the early stages of researching this big purchase and thought I'd get some pointers straight from the Bike-Friday-owners' mouths before I move any further in the process.

Denise, I'm impressed that you own not one but TWO BFs. If you use one for commuting, I'm sure it must be a real trooper. I don't know what your commute is like, but in my experience, just the daily wear and tear is enough to quickly separate the winners from the losers in bike durability. Thanks also for the helpful links. I find this kind of info-gathering is worth the time, and generally a little more straightforward than what even the most honest dealer can tell you.

Thanks again/bjj
