Are there any folders with monocoque-frame priced under $1000? I'm hoping to find one capable of handling very light off-road riding (paths, no jumps) as well as paved roads with the occasional rough patch ... ideally with an internal 8-speed hub like the Nexus.

As far as i know it the only true monocoque folders are by Birdy; I'm sure they do a model that has a spec somewhere near what you describe, though I think that at the price you're hoping for you may need to look for a pre-owned one as they are a bit pricey.

Birdy, Mezzo, Reach, Airnimal (there's a nice looking Joey on ebay) are possibilities... probably have to go used or find a closeout though..
