The whole idea is to mimic the brompton touring setup. Some may say it will be costly, but it will a be a fraction os a full brompton touring experience, as you can find the used curve for about u$300, a brompton front carrier block for about u$30,00 a carrier frame for u$55,00 a rear pannier rack for u$40,00 a xrf8 sturmey archer for u$100,00

The costs would be:
Bike 300
carrier Block 30
carrier frame 50
rear pannier rack 40
Sturmey archer xrf8 100
total: us$520,00

So the goal as shows in pathlesspedaled series of blogs:




here you can full mimim hes setup with dahon, using a smaller rack, or do as we dis outing a full pannier rack and use two front(20L) pannier on it

All of these possibilitis can be made with dahon:

full panniers:
