Bikes: fixed voyageur 11.8

Right on. I was tempted to nab another myself (who knows what reason!)... if you're so inclined, I'd recommend tearing it apart and (re?)greasing everything. Not much in there from the factory, and the hubs are packed with something more akin to a hard cheese than Phil.

By the way, I started a flickr pool for this style of Dahons and minis: http://www.flickr.com/groups/1930277@N25/ - some slickly upgraded ones in there which might give you more ideas.

Someone asked, so here's my list of replaced/upgraded parts:
- pulled the wheels, repacked and replaced axles with Q/R (be careful to retain stock dust shields, they are hub-specific)
- Shimano 600 rd
- Shmano 7sp 11-34t megarange fw
- pulled bb and replaced with Shimano cartridge
- Sugino GS crank with 54t Mighty Competition ring, MKS AR-8 pedals
- added Tektro canti-hangers at the fender bolt locations
- replaced V-brake with DiaCompe VC2 cantis and Kool-Stops
- RANS 2-bolt clamps, 31.8 and 28.6 on steerer
- RANS 7" riser stem
- old Specialized/Nitto bars, 42cm
- Cane Creek SCR5 levers
- 400mm seatpost, Brooks Conquest
