the dahon curve is a decent bike, but in no way is it worth the $700 retail price. and btw, in my opinion, the citizen tokyo is a piece of junk. i bought one on a whim a few years back. i got rid of it two days later. i read something from another forum member who bought one and donated it to goodwill within a week. but, then again, interceptor seems to enjoy it. it all depends on what your expectations and abilities are.
