and yes .... I agree..I want to see the Curl as well.... and hopefully some other bikes I suggested ...

And thats one of the reasons why both companies have a great future... They are different ..different philosophies ... different bikes,,,, different prices .... and and and
there is plenty of room for both brands.....

Earlier comments about the weight and size....
I understand that Tern is concerned about durability ..... if there is durability being gained while weight is sacrified... than Tern will make the bike just a tad heavier for the gain in durability ( Durability also in terms of servicability )
Size versus ride quality ..... ride quality gets the nod over size when folded .....

Adjustability ... the bikes I saw with one piece handlepost/stem have a vastly adjustable ( no tools) stem, which allows pretty big adjustments forward lower and higher closer ... to the rider. Not the lightest but the most adjustable way of doing this.

Spare parts...Tern has put the bar pretty high... lets see.... I mean best would be if no parts would be ever needed, right... lol
But lets see and wait... so far there is no need to have parts before the bikes arrive ...Lets see whats all will be in the first containersdown the road , that will most likely be an indication ...

and now ..lets stop that bickering about theoretical this and that
and rather ride the bikes we have and look forward to the new 2012 Dahons and the new 2012 Terns....
