Here's a slideshow I created today of the new Strida LT folding bike.
Basically, the bike is a Strida 5.0 folding bicycle with a few different parts. The most noticeable difference is the new combination resin & brushed aluminum rims. Very good looking and much more durable than the plastic rims Strida used previously on the Strida 3 (the old plastic rims would over heat in the sun, causing premature tube failures). In fact, Strida claims these rims to be superior to the wheels with stainless steel spokes because the spokes never need adjusting... And at just $599, this is the most reasonably priced Strida today (there are some Strida 3.2's still around but the manufacturer is discontinuing that line).

LT looks great. Would you please confirm the material of which the eccentric BB is made? Nylon, resin, alloy, or something else?
Originally, I thought the new BB was going to be nylon but it appears to be alloy (distributor also said it was alloy). So the difference between the BB on the LT is that it is not CNC'd like the one currently used on the 5.0, SX, etc.
