big spread .. indeed The Tern will give you 10 years as long as u sign up .
The current price of the x 10 is also down from 1900 earlier. Savings of 400 basically.
The wheels in the x series bikes are about as much as the whole Dahon Mariner will be.
I love the mariner as it is a light bike with everything you need. Nothing too fancy either.
Usually you pay for components rather than the frame and fork ... Meaning different frame and forks will only differ in small part concerning the price of the whole bike . If you spend a grand more, every single part of the bike is better ...
That starts with spokes, or inner tubes, bottom bracket axles or bearings in the hubs ...
now lets get some popcorn and watch it unfold ... literally lol
