I was wondering how the gear ratios would be in comparing my new Dahon Curve D3 with a typical 6 or 7 speed derailleur system? One of the staff where I purchased the D3 mentioned that the gearing on the 1st gear of the Curve would be compared to the 1st gear on a derailleur - 2nd gear to a mid gear on a derailleur, and the 3rd gear to the top gear on a derailleur. Is this about right? If that's the case, I don't think my wife will be pushing 3rd gear then.

Thanks
