Solid bike! Super happy! However cheapo brakes not justifying the price...
Seems like a solid strong bike. When folded it is not as compact as my commuter "pretzel" Dahon was but I bought this bike to carry it folded in the trunk of my Volvo station wagon so I am absolutely fine with it. I can fit X70, my wife's Montague Navigator and Burley kid's trailer in my car w/o messing around with bike racks!Surprisingly X70 came with hydraulic disc brakes! :) Shifters are mid-range parts. However the brakes are cheapo entry level types. I warped the rear disc by making a sharp u-turn with Burley trailer attached. I bent/fixed the disc back myself but it is still wobbling like 0.3mm. I decided to get a new disc but they are nowhere to be found. The brake system is not even listed/catalogued on manufacture's web page. I finally found the matching discs on eBay shipped from China ;)The bike price is on the steep-er side but not crazy pro-bike priced so I would expect all mid-range parts. IMHO everything but the brakes meet these expectations.

500 miles later and the bike is holding up just fine. Foldability is what you're paying for
Pros: 500 miles later and the bike is holding up just fine. Foldability is what you're paying for. Has the feal of a solid frame (non-folding) bike.Cons: Stock seat/saddle, and grips are incredibly cheap and uncomfortable. Derailleurs were misaligned on arrival. So, expect to spend $200 - $300 in necessary upgrades.
