It would make even less difference with that flat-bar fixie/SS because its bars won't touch the top tube at all (which I only realized after I wrote my post and saw the pic again.. lol).
So as to not go too off topic here, I ride a couple year-old poprad that has little left of stock componants, and a dahon speed pro. I have no pictures. I'll try and "spell check" from now on.
I almost bought a Dahon Mu XL off of Craigslist; I only held back because I'm still enamored by the Tikit and its crazy-fast fold. I'm still sure that I'll get a folder someday.
