Flight Mini, RD 806, Flight Mini, RD 806...

My heart (and wallet) is torn between these bikes.




Flight Mini 0
20 speed @ 20 pounds (!!)
US$600

Pros: lightweight, compact, great for long distances, super uber cool design
Cons: expensive as hell, must be parked indoors for constant fear of being stolen



RD 806
6 speed @ 30 pounds (foldable)
US$200

Pros: foldable, design is cool, easy on the wallet
Cons: heavy (for a foldable), might not be great for long distances/hills (only 6 speeds)

I'm gonna head to the Giant store later and ask the store owners if they have this model in stock:



Flight Mini 1
18 speed @ 22pounds
US$ N/A

Pros: lightweight, compact, great for long distances, cheaper than Flight Mini 0
Cons: still more expensive than the RD 806 (i'm assuming), fear of getting stolen

Sigh... why are bikes all of a sudden so freakin expensive!??!?!
