Thank you. Designing it was a labour of love. It’s function over form in every detail. No gimmicks, cheap materials or manufacturing short cuts like using castings for example. The welded frame components are all cnc machined from titanium blocks and the frame is robotically TIG welded in an argon chamber in our Toronto factory. We literally spare no expense in making them.

Is it available for display in any store around Toronto?

Not yet, but soon. In the mean time you are welcome to come to our factory. Email is on our website or you can pm me. Thanks

But $3-5K for a bicycle?

How can I justify that if my Mazda3 2008 is worth that much, and still runs perfectly fine?

A well made titanium bike will easily outlast your Mazda and have better resale value. You’re getting outside and active. Lower carbon footprint. Never pay for parking. There’s so much more.

A bicycle is not a car, in the same way that a tablet is not a PC. If you want the former, the comparative price of the latter isn't relevant.

If you want to talk about why they're expensive compared to cars, IDK... cars are mass produced by robots in Japan and the bikes are small-scale assembled in Canada by people.

FWIW, there are many non-folding bikes that are $3-5K
