Here is a list to a Taiwan group with lots of great old Dahons. This may inspire you to keep your bike. I can not remember who posted this link first but it was not me.

WOW!
Thanks for that, first time I have seen it. There were some amazing bikes in there. I bought my two from a thrift store for $100 for the pair. The red one has the S-A AW hub the blue one a Sachs 3 speed. I use the red one a fair bit, haven't done anything with the blue one yet.
