khs folder
The KHS 20inch folder has arrived. My friend bought it and I got a Dahon SPeed8 (which I really like - although it is a little too long for me -5"2 height, and I am having trouble with flat tires). The KHS - which lbs recommended, is not as well made and probably more comparable to the Dahon Boardwalk than the model I have. No quick releases on tires, set handlebar stem height, and 6 speed. KHS folds fairly easily and fairly compactly. The Dahon seem to be sturdier - KHS creaks a bit and feels a bit flimsy. My friend liked the way KHS folds and wants to keep it in her apartment to ride around local park - no major riding on city streets or anything. IT seems to be about the same weight as the Dahon - and it came with fenders and a little bell. Friend is changing the handlebars so she can sit more upright - she did not like leaning over the straight bar that came on it. I will update again when she gets it home and we have a chance to ride around the park together.
