i got one of these recently, pretty handy if you need something for xc that you can take on a bus/train/taxi.

the ride is fine, the folding mechanism doesnt cause any problems that i noticed, in fact it feels more solid under me than some other frames i got. they are meant to be an all terrain bike that also folds, not just a folder with knobbly tyres. the desgn does mean it has quite a long wheelbase tho, so nothing too technical, but i found it to be good for single track or hard pack roads and the such because of it.
