Dahon Speed D7 (2006) or the Dahon Vitesse D7 (2007). Now, the first choice it's cheaper, but I wouldn't mind to give some extra cash for the Vitesse D7 (2007) if its really worth it. Now, the reasons why I want a folding bike are:
* I need a light bike ( I live in the 3th floor, no elevator, lots of stairs)
* A compact bike to go around town that can survive to this city high pavements
* Folded to fit in the bus ( I take the bus and train almost every day), and at my small apartment.
So... What do you think? Speed D7 or Vitesse D7 ? Thanks in advance

Sounds like you might be better served by the Dahon Curve or the Downtube Mini. Both are much more compact due to the 16 inch wheels (the above mentioned have 20 inch wheels)
