lol. She told me she wants a bike, and she said she wants a folding bike. We went over this discussion last summer, and all the reasons I provided are words out of her own mouth.
As far as letting her decide, the questions I asked are the same ones she would ask. She knows nothing about bikes, I know a little more than nothing.
In fact, last year she had me look for one for her to buy, and that's how I found out about the Dahon brand. Looking at Origami/Downtube, I would have no knowledge of comparing them. As far as I know they are just a price and wheel size to me. That's why I came here for help.
As far as letting her pick one, it would be nice if you guys and gals can help me narrow it down to a few and then I can let her make the final decision.
If 25lb is hard to find ready to go then I suppose I'll have to stick with the 30lb range then.
