Hello all - I'm new to this forum, and was happy to find it.

I'm a pretty avid club racer with Porsche Owners Club and had a nice weekend at California Speedway. During the two days, I borrowed a Dahon Speed from a friend who had an extra one and let me say that it made all the difference in the world - being able to cruise around was so fantastic I committed right there to buy a folding bike and take it with me on events at various tracks. I also see it as another piece of luggage to bring to Maui when we go in June, but not so sure yet.

Anyway, I need one that is truly compact, so the Curve has piqued my interest. It seems the most compact quality unit under $400 around, but when I read the folded size, it doesn't seem that much smaller than a 20" model like the Downtube IXNS, essentially only 7 inches longer, that's it. I need it small because I'd like it to fit in one of my trunks of the Boxster S, and with the description of the Curve saying it fits in a grocery bag, that statement belies the measurements they give, as I don't know too many grocery bags 26" by 25" by 13", unless they have them in Texas.

FYI, I am 6'2" and 209lbs

Anyway, thoughts on compactability of these bikes?
