So I got a new MU UNO. After reading about dahon frame hinges creaking, and being assured that they had resolved the problem, I took the risk. I ordered it and it was shipped. Thankfully the shop agreed to take it back! Aside from another issue, when I test rode it in the back yard, the first thing I noticed was creaking from the frame hinge.

So, without buying a Brompton, or spending over 500 euros. what options do I have that are decent quality?
