IMO the Giant website are really vague about their spec. Makes you wonder.
Thanks for the options. I actually did look at Brompton but the price is not right for me at the moment.
I was looking to spend around $500 on a bike I would use for 2 years or so and then sell. One of the appeals of Giant is that its fairly easy to resell a Giant bike.
My main need is to bring it on a bus. Here in Orange County, I have tried to use a bicycle/bus combo to do some computing to a local college-but at the college the bike rack on the bus is usually full so a folding bike would take away that barrier.
I am still looking at Dahon. Never had any experience with Tern. Is it good?
(I have a few other bikes I ride for enjoyment so this bike would have a very specific use).
Also, thank you for your input amf14
Edit: I am taking a serious look at the Tern D8 now as well
