You'd think that with Dahon's economies of scale they'd have a price advantage. So, has Dahon grown soft and fat or is Crius cutting corners on alloys, processes and tolerances? Or does Crius' alleged cost advantage really lay in the fact that they're building knock-offs of Dahon designs so they don't have the overhead of research, design engineering, product planning and testing?
