i like both models.
as i said i would love to be able to seel them cheaper, but thats life I guess...

I love the ss bikes as there is a sense of simplicity and clean lines which is striking. Having said that the mu is much sexier than the speed.. but the speed is a good platform to mod later on ( you simply have more money to mod from the get go ..lol )
steel or alloy is NOT an issue since about 20 years ago.... but choices are good
what i wished for is a real ss flip flop hub on the mu and the coaster brake hub only on the speed...maybe next year.
maybe an automatik or 2 speed coaster hub as an option for both....

ss with folders ( which have long handleposts and seatposts) is somewhat a oxymoron as you now have to pull and push like crazy on the handlepost to keep momentum up .... while I usually suggest to sit down and spin on a regular folder ....keeping the cadence higher than usual ( in order not to experience some ofthe flex ) now with a single speed you are forced to mash the one gear to come up to speed...

its not a big problem as the speed frame and the mu especially is a pretty stiff platform .... but there are some newbie folder folks with a singlespeeds, which wish for gears and a more relaxed spinning bike later on.... a few .... actually not many at all, which let Dahon to offer a second ss bike after all...
