I almost mentioned this. Except I upped the gearing on my 20-inch Dahon Boardwalk folder, and it is a s a fast as my main 700c semi-tourer commuter.

But the ancient 16-inch Dahon Stowaway I'm rebuilding does indeed add 10 minutes to my commute, altough I'm in the process of upping that gearing also.
