Re: Dahon Curve folding bike?

Grand Poobah 3 October 2007 03:30:22
 Make sure you really need a folder, and not just a bike with small wheels.

I thought I would need a folder for my intermodal commute (bike/city
bus/train), so I bought a Bike Friday with 20" wheels. Daily folding /
unfolding became tedious.

My small-wheeled bike is less obtrusive on the train, and much easier on
stairs and escalators (compared with a full-sized bike).

If you definitely need a folder, I believe Dahon is the cheapest.

You could have afforded the Bromptons I bought. I bought four of them on
four trips to Taiwan for about $235 each. They were the Bromptons built
under license by NeoBike of Taiwan. They are no longer licensed to build
them. In fact, the executives of NeoBike went to jail for their actions
related to patent infringement. Brompton was about to do a deal with
Dahon, and the Dahon employee sent to negotiate the deal left Dahon and
started NeoBike. The Brompton violates several Dahon patents.

wow!

Interesting!

My BF has 20" wheels, and all BF's fold. When I first bought it, I

OK

Sounds like a NON folding bike but with 20" wheels
might be best overall compromise then huh?

Is this what you mean? That the small wheels actually
make it easier to lug around than any of the folding
aspects?

Yes, that is what I mean. If I were buying a bike for my commute right
now, I would look for a non-folder with 20" wheels. Non-folding bikes
are stronger and cheaper, other things being equal. By that I mean,
you pay a premium for the folding feature. Especially if you are 200
lbs 6'4" like me, where frame strength is an issue.

Understood. Why have the complexity of the folding
mechanism if NOT really needed!!

BUT.... who builds bikes with small Bike Friday-LIKE
frames that are NON-folding and use 20" wheels as well?

The one feature of my folder which I use every day, is that the seat
mast is easily removed by a quick release. I use this feature every
day. For instance, it is very useful if you want to load the bike into
a car. Any non-folder I were to buy, would need to have a seat mast
like that:

Cool!

and another god idea!!

Maybe what we need is a bike LIKE the Bike Friday in
stature and design..... but NOT one that folds at all?
That might be just as easy to break down and haul
around as a folder huh?
