Thanks for your reply. I see you have a Link Uno. Have you tried a Verge? I wonder what the differences are between the Verge and Link lines. I gather the Verge is supposed to be lighter, stiffer, and faster (and more expensive), but I wonder how that plays in the real world.

As another aside, I considered, and have mostly rejected, the Tern Link P24h. It's loaded with features, some which interest me, and some which don't, and it's even slightly cheaper than the P20. It has an even wider gear range, with a hybrid drivetrain, with an 8 cog cassette on a three speed internal gear hub. I like the idea of the internal gear hub, as I ride one now and find it very useful for urban riding. It also has an adjustable stem, so you can switch from riding upright to low and sporty. However, it weighs in at over 30 lbs, which might make it feel like riding a tank, and I have to schlep the thing up four flights of stairs. Also, I have yet to test ride, or even see it first hand at either folding bike shop in town. One doesn't stock it, and the other didn't have it in the store. Neither seemed eager to sell it to me.

Thanks for any input.
