.....now it's the seat posts that are snapping.
Like most things that look too good too be true, Dahons look sensational, but seem to be utter rubbish if you want to do serious riding, never heard of a seat post breaking on a R20, even a modded one.
You can waste your hard earned cash on a top end Pro TT, but you will still have nagging lingering fears when you're riding it...."Will the crappy headstem snap, (at any given moment), if I put it under mininmal stress?", "Will the seat post snap if I'm powering up a hill?", "Will the chain slip if I stand up to sprint through the traffic lights?"
Seems to me that Dahons are good for a doddle on a MUP, not much else.
