Thanks F&T and DaFriMon. I can't tell without measurements, but I believe that I would want a longer reach than micro-adjust stem. Although I have a hard time finding an adjustable stem that rotates 180 degrees here in the states.

That is excellent news. Of course, you two both know what I am driving at ... the ability to get some extension during longer rides without compromising a tiny fold. I have reached the time to test ride the Curve and, hopefully, take a trip up to Philly to test ride the Mini.

It has been a while since I rode a Dahon. At the moment, I suspect that the 5 speed Curve will prove to be the winner in a contest with the mini. From what I gather ...

(1) It is a few pounds lighter
(2) Already comes with Big Apples
(3) Stays folded better--good for rolling?
(4) Has the front bag attachment
(5) Can fold with front bag attachment
(6) Can have a rear rack and possibly fold with front bag attachment (according to bag model).
(7) Local dealer

although ...

(8) The gear range is more narrow than the Mini
(9) After all accessories, probably more expensive than Mini
(10) Non-standard parts? Not sure on this one. I recall that the front hub is more narrow and the seatpost/seat is an odd diameter and design. Would it be straightforward to putz with the bottom bracket and crank/chainrings? Any input would be appreciated.
