If you want "project bikes" always easiest to invest in the frame you want and go from there.
L Arnold-
Thanks for the information. Here is an affordable Dahon on my local Craigslist. But....it looks like its single speed. The big issue with this is that there is no hanger for a derailleur. The listing has zero info regarding the model. Without a derailleur hanger I would be out of luck "upgrading" this correct? Is this a "Speed Uno"?
