It looks as though I may have just gotten myself a job, or at least the potential for one, working as a musician on a cruise ship. This has led me to decide, that if I do get the job, I'll replace my broken down old beast with a folding bike that I could take with me. The question then is the standard one, which bike should I get?

I'd like for it to pack down small to take with me on the fights to and from the ship, and for storing in my cabin, but would like it to be able to handle anything I'd throw at it in a port of call, which could be anywhere at this point.

Also, I'll probably have to order something completely stock, because the turn around time between knowing if I've got the gig and leaving for it could be rather small.

My current pick is the Dahon JetStream P8, but is there an other bike in a similar price bracket that would be better?

Thanks in advance
