Caution should be further executed regarding after-market items. The carrying bag I've got for my Dahon fell apart before I reached my hotel room. (I used the bag to bypass security that was not allowing bikes anywhere near the hotel complex.) The bag I was given as a replacement fell apart as well - I stitched it with a stapler for further transportation. The rack on the bike had mounting holes drilled so badly that it should have been a reject - the flaws were hidden under the heads of mounting bolts. The bike itself had decent integrity, though.
