Sounds like your older Piccolo had no problems then either?
I wasn't aware of the Big Apple tire size fitting the Presto but it probably would not be enough in my opinion. A 16' inch wheel is a very rough ride and you need some sort of suspension or the roads have to be smooth. You'll notice the Brompton, Birdy and Yeah folders all have suspension for a reason. A Brooks Champion flyer with springs is the other alternative but fat tires alone may not be enough. I use the Champion flyer on my Vitesse and it works perfect and can ride that bike for miles and miles.
I'm with you on this, and agree. (I just mentioned the Big Apples because someone in the Dahon forums fitted some to their Presto Lite frame, but I don't remember if the tires interfered with the fenders or not.)
