Well said. I welcome alteratives
Earlier it was asked why someone might prefer a bigfish over a curve SL.
Ok
I like the curve but.....
1) Dahon fold is not that great, it does not hold together well unless you fiddle with it.
2)The big fish will, I would have thought, go in a narrow space like a small car boot that does not fit the wide fold of a dhaon etc.
I found my diblasi, (non fold over frame),fitted in the back of my Nissan micra without folding back seats down, but the brompton did not fit.
I had a Porsche 912 owner chose a diblais for same reason. A long thin fold has its appeal.
3) as regular folder users we get used to folding our bikes and occasional users might not want to learn to fold a dahon, or find it easy. My family did not get on with my curve fold.
4) It also looks like it stands better.
