**Pros:
**It rides like a normal road bike and can be folded up and bought into an office or a train. Angers Brompton riders as you glide past them on the drops. Will carry a shit-load of luggage. Strangers will salute your choice of ride. Packs into a brompton flight case for plane travel.
**
Cons:**
Fold is unintuitive and fiddly. Mudguards not integrated like Brompton. Cannot be coat-checked like a Brompton. Costs more than a Brompton. Stiff, uncompromising ride with road tyres. Limited tyre choice. Not allowed to be raced in the nocturne folding bike race.
Ultimately it's a fast bike that folds, rather than a folding bike.
