Jan 13 UPDATE
Hey folks! I've rigged my Speed P8 with a set of front and rear traveller's rack. Its now touring ready!
My 2009 Dahon Speed P8's present configuration
The set of Topeak drybag panniers
Rear view of the panniers mounted onto the Dahon travellers rack
Cateye rear mirror - coolness!
My trusty Garmin Oregon 300 - very useful for planning routes in the countryside
MKS exim superior pedals - upgraded to replace the stock standard Suntour pedals
