Dahon 16" Stainless Steel Convertible (circa 1986?)
I recently bought this on ebay with the rear fender missing - does anyone know how "collectable" these are? On ebay there was one that went for >$1K but looked like everything was in tack, the rear fender is missing on mine (did not realize before I bought it!).
Also, does anyone have a manual they can share as I do not know how to set-it up properly!
If anyone is interested in buying, there is some restoration on the nuts/bolts which were not stainless...
thanks,
Amy

I have a plain steel classic from about the same year, but it came with a manual, which I posted here:

It just happens to be a manual for a stainless model. Good luck.

The other pages I didn't scan are general stuff about bicycling & safety. If you want to know about the Sturmey, go to Sheldon Brown's articles, and/or hubstrippers. It's too bad Dahon didn't provide more support for the early bikes.
