Pictures to come this week, but I have a 83ish Shogun roadbike with factory 24" front wheel and factory 27' rear wheel. Guess made for shorter rider.

My first ever folders,both ordered last week,delivered this week (one on Monday,the other on Thursday).
2012 Citizen Miami
Image

2012 Schwinn Loop
Image

Both were priced at $199. The Schwinn seemed like the better deal at $199 shipped/total to-my-door price with it's intigrated rear rack and included carry-along bag (that it will just barely fit inside on a good day),and the Citizen coming at $270 total/to-my-door with shipping,and optional carry-along bag (much nicer bag than the other) and rear rack. Both were made in China. The Citizen is a solid bike with decent parts throughout (for the pricepoint),had awesome quality control and assembly,and Citizen went out of their way to include niceties like an actual decent,fun to read manual and hand written note (fromt eh assembler) wishing me many happy miles.

The Schwinn? Unridable out of the box,needed the new V-brake (rear one,anyways) replaced,fit and finish is kinda crappy,and quality control/assembly was non-existant/poor. No worries,it didn't go to a noobie or someone's child,it came to me,and it's all asembled properly and in adjustment,I had a Shimano Deore XT v-brake from before my disc riding days,and I really dig the style of the frame,LOL! :P

I did full (preliminary) reviews on my blog if anyone wants to read my drivel :P

Schwinn by Dahon sold by Target a few years back. Was a $99.00 close out model.

Thanks! I found it on C-list and HAD to have it. Traded my yellow tandem for both of these and he delivered from Rushville, Indiana to Kokomo... 80 miles one way.
