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.)
I sold my Piccolo this year and I'll admit it was abused. The bike was still taking a beating but was vandalized on several occasions. The bike was still shifting like new even though it was abused like a beater bike.
With the Curve coming out next year, I would wait for that bike unless it doesn't come with fenders and racks. The Sturmey Archer 5 speed is a huge improvement over the 3 speed and worth the wait. If it's high geared, just buy a larger cog and you're set.
