mike - i live in nj and own a nwt - i'm guessing someone in ny will show you their bike but if not we can attempt to meet - also if you'd like to consider a used bike (bike friday tranfers the warranty) i might be interested in selling mine as i've started doing faster rides and am consider going for a lighter model -

i also suggest calling bike friday - i deal with dave seybert 800-777-0258 tell him ben blum sent you - good luck, ben
