Please give a good home to a slightly ratty Dahon folding bike.
Good points
Frame is solid, folds well, tyres hold air and wheels are pretty true. Sturmey Archer 3-speed grip-shift works fine and brakes are effective. Front wheel spins well.
Bad points
Rear hub is pretty grippy and doesn't spin too nicely. As a result right now it isn't really rideable. I think it just needs a proper fettling with the bearings. I've had a quick look and the balls and cups are in OK nick and have grease so could just be the loading. Surface finish is crazed but no corrosion I can see. Mudguards are long gone.
Also have a fully functioning turbo I'm trying to move on. Again for free. Its a Minoura HyperMag. Worked perfectly the few times I used it.
I'll work with dibs but the first to slide in to DMs with a concrete and speedy collection time/date gets it.
Any questions just ask. I'm short of space so keen to get these moved on ASAP. Collection only unless really local. I'm in Bromley. No charge for either, but please make a donation to the forum. I'll do likewise.
Thanks
