Bikes: Several, all affordably priced, none exalted cult artifacts or hype jobs
I myself would replace the handlepost with a modern one, and check/replace the headset while I am at it. A new, modern, flex-free FnHon handlepost, for example, costs all of $35. Headset? $4.
Handlepost flex is no longer an unavoidable, normal characteristic of folding bikes in the third decade of the 21st century. Beware the advice of the gurus here -- one or two, fervent devotees of the Dahon cult -- who in 2024 still haven't gotten the memo.
