I had my first test ride on a Dahon at the weekend, a Curve SL. I was impressed by the lightness, but did not feel at all comfortable with the handlebar stem, it took forever to get it aligned after adjusting the height, and even then it felt very flimsy. The wheels, with Big Apple tyres, didn't seem to run very true, and the gear change was quite stiff and notchy. All in all a nice bike, but not sure how far I'd be comfortable riding it, and to be honest the London Uk price of 560 pounds was pretty steep. After that I went on to try the Pacific Reach, a very different kettle of fish, and a lot more fun for only 40 quid more.
