Good luck.
BINGO!

If you are tall (like me - 6'3" with long legs and arms) or heavier (230+ - not like me) a Dahon, as well as a lot of other folders, is likely not going to be a satisfactory bike. You are also limited on handle bar modifications on many Dahon models.

FYI: We started with D7's and I still have, and ride, my S1.
