In the office next to my desk before I stuff it in a zipper bag and stow it underneath, this is my 2007 Dahon Mu P8.

1)Diblasi folded
2) Downtube with low profile bars folded
3) Merc compaired to DIblasi
4) Mezzo with Downtube
5) Giatex with merc
6) On end Diblasi with Merc (I think), only about 6inchs taller like this, but smaller foot print than merc.
7) Diblasi with merc, showing much thinner profile than Merc.
8) Mezzo with low profile bars
9) Unfinished Downtube upgrade (cant fold bars as cables too short!) with Giatex,and Diblasi.
10) Upgraded Mission space genie demostrating that the small pannier can be left on in full or half fold.

I would love to see more still.

My Brompton much smaller than the Birdy, but for comfort this cannot be beaten, even better than my full size touring bike

^That's a sweet looking bike. Very sleek. I like the all-black look. Could be the Night Rider of folders, meant in the best possible way!

Couple more pictures of mine. Only folding bikes I own now, having found a good comprimise. Two dual drive Mezzo's folded. Gold one is 3x7 with standard handlebars in most forward postion. Black bike is 3x9 with lowprofile type bars and racing STI levers. The black bike is a bit thicker when folded, but offers a faster, more streched out riding postion.

Thanks fmattheus, I didn't know that. I've always been curious about how good leather saddles really are, but I've always been put off its "vintage" shape. That swallow looks really nice and modern to me.
