Mine's been a mix. Got a Cadenza - the full-size folder, which is built to be like a street bike, with 2x8 gears. Frame hinge creaks a little but always has. The big problem has been the rear wheel - it came single cross on the drive side and straight spokes on the non-drive side. I've busted loads of the spokes. Need it stripped and rebuilt as a triple-cross or something. Or maybe buy some super-strong spokes like those bladed sort maybe. Shrug. I don't live in Chesham anymore, so I don't need it for the next year or two. Hello eBay, goodbye Dahon.
Ouch!
