I actually have yet to spend $600 on any bike

I was more curious because I see the Dahons in that range quite regularly. One (Stowaway 3spd) on CL right now by me described in showroom shape with bag for $150 for example.

I'm fine with buying used. I have actually never bought a new bike, and most of my purchases have been full rebuilds!
