You probably won't like the Shimano coaster brake hub after you put a bunch of miles on the Dahon .. The Swift is 132mm rear dropouts, so can run some different hubs if you get tired of SS .. can run 451's ... replaceable chain rings with the Swift ... Black is a nice color .. Jur will be your friend ... next year you won't remember saving $150 by buying the Swift.. but, if you need to fold compactly and often, that's a whole different wrinkle ..
