It's good and informative, but I think a bit extreme to be useful. He compares a $150.00 bike, which is as cheap as you can possibly buy a folder, against one that is one of the industry standards for a good, quality product. With the expected results. I'm completely new to current folders (and have been bending the group's ear for the past week), and even I know enough not to bother with the absolute cheapest example available. I'd have found the comparison a bit more informative if he had contrasted a $300-400.00 folder (which is what I would guess would be the cheapest you can go and still get something useful) against the Dahon.
