Then you'd have, almost to a tee, the steel Dahon Speed D7, apart from the disks and the Rd hanger. It is remarkable how the R20 has hung on as desirable, they turn up in my recycling centre frequently, and used to moulder there, but now are snapped up by dealers and flippers.
well, actually, dahon frames have a very short head tube. R20 requires a 9" steerer, which has limited options. Might be nice to be able to use forks readily available on the market.
