Foldable Quando
Yes, I too would like the extra gears of the Sprint, and proper length cranks would be good, but otherwise I'm very happy with the Quando. Actually I like the simplicity of the machine.
The foldability of the Quando is important to me. I wouldn't want to carry it far, but it goes into the back of a small hatchback very easily. You can drive to the outskirts for a city shopping trip, then ride the cyclepaths to the centre of the city. I wouldn't be able to do that with a Sprint.
I also have a contingency plan to deal with any breakdowns or motor-wheel puntures that I don't fancy mending at the side of the road. This involves phoning my wife, friend or a taxi to come and get me. This is much more practical wth a folding bike.
I used to have a Brompton and a mountain bike. Faced with making a choice between the two for a ride I rarely chose the Brompton. Now I have a Quando and a mountain bike and the mountain bike hasn't been out of the garage for ages.
I'm not your average cyclist, as you will see from my other posts if you care to look, so this is a biased view. However I can confirm, above everything else, that the Quando is great fun. It has a unique mix of capabilites that cannot be found anywhere else.
