Did not try them yet, but, I am also very interested in them. Mostly because you can still travel by train since they are small enough. But also because they are much lighter, and easier to park or find a spot in a shared bike room. The Vello SUB is only 25kg, but thats with a titanium frame :) still 29 or so I think though with a steel frame. All that while still being able to carry 100kg on the back.
