Name: Jason Robinson From: Guelph, Ontario, Canada E-mail: jasonrobinson@rogers.com	I purchased a 9FS a few weeks ago, and managed to get 2 rides in before the winter season hit. I am not an avid cyclist, but intend on riding to and from work come spring time. As I live in a small condo, I decided that a folding bike was a necessity and I did quite a bit of research before settling on a Downtube. So far, I have been immensely satisfied with the quality that I got for such a reasonable price. It shipped very quickly and was packaged very well. All of the parts seem to function well, and most of them are well above basic quality parts. Thank you for such a good value! Added: January 2, 2012

Name: Andrew From: Singapore E-mail: ataysg@yahoo.com.sg	Having read so much great reviews, I made a commitment to purchase a 9FS. As suggested by Yan, I managed to contact the a reseller in Jakarta. Flew there, bought the bicycle and flew back with it. No regrets, performed well and most important value for money. Thanks Downtube.. Added: November 18, 2011

Name: Kevin Murphy From: Baltimore, MD	Hello, Two years ago (after much research and several dead ends) I bought a Orange FS-9. Being 6", 240lbs, with lower back problems, I needed a ride that would be strong and not beat me up. It is solid and the front/rear shocks cushion my big b***. It is manuverable enough to ride on the sidewalk, comfortable over potholes and convenient enough to fit in the trunk of my subcompact. It was meant to be a puttering around 'vacation/boardwalk' bike, but after changing the chainwheel to 56 teeth, it's my all time bike. I joined a local bike club (casual riders!!) and I have no problems doing 10-12 mph. Note: it is NOT to be confused with a Tour De France road bike, but to be a 'pavement' bike. The bike (and helmet, gloves, extra bike shorts) live in my trunk. And I'm ready to ride a trail, neighborhood, shopping center anytime. Besides the one/two mile exploring rides I did the last two weeks, I did 24, 28, 31 mile group rides with friends. Needless to say, it is always the object of curiosity. Obviously I am uber pleased with this bike. The only upgrades being the longer seat stem (option) and the 56t chainwheel (should be an option). Thank you, Kevin Murphy Added: July 27, 2011

Name: Greg From: Florida E-mail: gjl2home@yahoo.com	We purchased our Downtube IX FS bikes over 4 years ago while on a trip in Florida. We bought them online, sight unseen and had them delivered to the RV park we were in at the time. They fit well in the back of our Subaru WRX. We now ride them every Sunday for 20 - 25 mile trips even though we have some 26" street bikes we could ride. These bikes have a very comfortable ride (other than the hard seat)and shift well. Ever since we first rode them we get lot's of looks and interesting comments from kids and adults alike about how cool these bikes are. If we had a mobile dealership in our RV we probably could have sold hundreds of them. The RV is now gone and we no longer need foldable bikes but .... these are still the bike of our choice to ride. In fact ... today I'm shopping for new tires since the originals are showing threads You just simply can't go wrong with this bike!! Added: July 1, 2011

Name: James From: Fairview,N.J. E-mail: jgocto2@aol.com	I must congratulate the people over at Downtube! I had ordered my Downtube Nova-(in White as my 6yr. old son suggested-Lol!) and I am so happy! I've been teaching my son how to ride but I've not been able to ride with him because I have to drive to his favorite park-where he feels comfortable. My old mountain bike doesn't fit in this little car with his bike and I've not found a bike rack, that I liked for the car. So,I did my research and found that Downtube offered some really nice folding bikes for reasonable prices-especially for someone like me who just got back into riding and has a small budget to work with. I love this bike SOOOOO Much!!! Thank you for building a bike that I can go anywhere with my son. It's brought me so much joy! Thank you!!! Sincerely, James G. !!! Added: June 30, 2011

Name: Boby From: Malang, Indonesia E-mail: tb_iseza@yahoo.com	Cycling is one great way to have fun and exercise at the same time. Folding bike is a great choice for this, when you travel a lot by car, foldbike can easily be brought and use. Downtube Nova was very satisfying and enjoyable for me. Nice look, lightweight, easy to fold (Can be folded less than 30 seconds) , and of course, comfortable to ride. There are so many cheaper folding bikes out there, but, really, don't compromise price for quality. Better spent a bit more to get what you will really enjoy for a long time, than getting cheap bikes which is not so comfortable and might break easily and give you troubles.. Trust me, Downtube is really a great choice for your cycling. Have fun cycling with Downtube! Added: June 16, 2011

Name: Verdy From: Indonesia (east Kalimantan) E-mail: verdys@gmail.com	Just bought the 2011 Downtube 9FS White, a couple of days ago from a local vendor in Jakarta (online purchase). The bike feels great, better ride than my folding MTB on the road. Only clocked ± 50 km so far, will plan to have longer trips in the near future :-) One thing I noticed, there is no "D" symbol on the front post, only "Downtube 9 FS" on each side. At first, I suspect the bike to be a fake version, but after matched all the equipments installed on this website and feels the ride quality, it looks too good to be a fake. Any explanation why there is no "D" symbol on the front? My vendor also doesn't understand why there is no "D" symbol :-( I plan to install a rack at the back, soon. I'll see how it goes :-) Added: April 11, 2011

Name: George C. From: Lexington, MI E-mail: gcrackel@avci.net	I have been researching and shopping for folding bikes for about two years and finally decided on a pair of Downtube 9FS's. The last bike I had came from a department store in 1974 and bike technology has certainly changed! I placed the order in mid December in hopes it would arrive by Christmas. Much to my amazement the bikes were on the front porch in about 72 hours! No damage to either bike and they really are beautifully built. So, we are waiting for spring to come and are planning this year's vacation around bike trails. Can't wait to put some miles on these bikes. Note to pilots: I managed to get both bikes into the baggage area of my Cessna 150. Granted there is not much room left but I think we'll be able to pack a duffel with enough clothes for a few days away. Added: January 30, 2011

Name: Greg K From: SF North Bay E-mail: peasant1951@yahoo.com	FS bike arrived in great condition and needed very little set up or adjustment. Put on 10 miles first day and rides really nice. Looks like it's built to last; frame and welds top notch. 9 speed shifting is very smooth. Easy to add on accessories. Folding and putting in the trunk of my car is a snap. Looked at other brands and for the price, this bike is a very good deal. Added: October 30, 2010
