How to judge quality: it is a difficult call, I agree on the price not correlating linearly to quality (my opinion: cheap things are still too expensive for their quality, expensive things are often too expensive for the quality improvement over a moderately priced bicycle). Unfortunately the best tool to check for quality is time: I guess by scouring the internet you can find enough report about which folding bikes has been reliably used for long trips and you can extrapolate from there. | |

How someone can "judge" the real quality of the (steel) frame itself? (Asking because myself saw many products (even highly priced) what was a piece of overpriced junk.) | |
