Really sad to see this go. I bought this last year with the hope of getting lunch time exercise. I ended up riding it all of 3 times. =(

Since, it's been sitting, folded up, in my office cubicle.

- Folding left and right pedals for compactness.
- Plastic chainring cover to make keep chain from getting dirt and grime in your car or storage area. Also keeps the chain from falling off.

Very well made bike (see http://www.bikeforums.net/ to see what people are saying).

Bike is in excellent shape. No damage except a few cosmetic scratches where the bike folds on itself. All hardware works fine, cables will need to be adjusted as it's been sitting around.

I paid over $400 (incl shipping) for this, asking $350 cash
You pick up in Mountain View (week days)
