Hi there. I just got a 2008 Mu P8, and the experience so far has mostly been pretty good, the bike is quite nice.
However, it seems like its noisier than i'm used to, making some creaks. There is also paint coming off on the inside of the hinge after 50km, is this normal?
Also, from all the ones I tried in the store the hinge required a small amount of force to operate - mine operates with little at all. Is it too loose, maybe causing the noise?
At any rate, the bike is very exciting! Its getting Ergon grips, a Brooks Imperial B17, as well as front and rear racks - a Dahon Mu TR :)
