Hi Geo,
no problem - the forum software does recognize/remember you.
Many thanks for your detailed feedback; I’m really happy that you don’t regret the change 
As mostly I’ve tried to reproduce your issue with my bikes - and could not.
Looking closer I think there are two reasons for the difference, that’s for one the height of the seat molding (adjusted for me - 1,89m) but the second reason has to do with the kind of folding.
Do you fold your Strida by “crossing” the tubes or do you already use this thingy?
