i was finally able to ride the panasonic springbok today.
PRO: very comfortable and stable ride. absorbs road imperfections. no flex on the frame. spot-on steering
CON: short distance between saddle and handlebar
UPGRADE: 451 wheels, durano tires, more forward stem 110mm 0 degree (maybe nitto as suggested by smallwheeler)
dahon boardwalk
PRO: it rides like a bike friday. solid. stable. comfortable.
CON: stem/fork assemble needs to be adjusted/tightened as it becomes loose towards the end of the ride
UPGRADE: headset, stem/fork assembly (need to figure out why it becomes loose)
