Yeah, model churn is a definite concern. The shop owner wasn't real thrilled with the churn either... a lot of the "U.S. models" that Dahon advertises are very hard to get in the US, if you can get them at all. He was very clear that the standard Dahon racks are not something he's thrilled with given my normal loads. A bike that feels just right is a big deal, but so are busted racks. And I'm pretty sure Dahon isn't the Only Company that makes me sized bikes.
