So what do I do now?

I've owned this bike since October of last year. I've mostly ridden this during lunch when I have to drive to work and weekends on flats with 5-8 miles per ride. I am thinking of making this my primary commuter which means 35 miles round trip to work and back with 500 ft elevation change. Downhill to work, up hill home (no steep grades but uphill none the less).

I'm moving from a KHS TC hybrid. For some reason I prefer riding the Dahon over the KHS because it feels more fun. I know that's a subjective phrase, but I like the nimbleness it has over the 26". But I like to keep the same comfort and durability that I have on the KHS frame to be present on the Dahon.

So back to my original question. What do I do now?... to make it close the comfort my KHS has. The KHS has mid rise bars, Odesa fork, seat suspension, 7 speed rear, 26x1.9 wheels with Kenda hybrid tires.

Any ideas, or am I crazy to ride a folder that far?
