Thanks - I've been loving my Dahon Speed for a few years, but I really don't need the 8 gears and keeping the whole shifting apparatus in shape gets to be a drag.
In NYC I feel like the 451mm wheels are a godsend b/c I'm always in a pothole or on a curb, but otherwise I think your mod represents a near-perfect commute bike.
I suppose I'll spring for the Uno, and then wait for the new SRAM hub to materialize
