You are really limiting your options. At one point I was drinking the Kool-Aid too.

There isn't a Dahon made that I'd trade my Swift for. No offense to Dahon, but the Swift is the first folder I can actually get out of the saddle and push hard and not feel it flex all over the place and I am over 200lbs and have some pretty strong legs. I can leg press a lot of weight for sure.

My Swift is the most troublefree folder I've ever owned and the first one I didnt' grow bored with in short order. I'd REALLY suggest taking a ride on a Swift. Just on a lark I tried one and it totally changed my perception. After 5 minutes in the saddle I came back thinking I HAVE to get one of these.

I must say there is one Dahon I would like to have but it isn't in the US anymore; the Roo EL.
