Thanks again for help.

I have adjusted my criteria a bit. Let's leave out offroad and concentrate on a fast 20'' road folder. I have selected 3 models, which I like and are available for about the same price. I would be really glad if you could leave your comments on thease models and suggest, which one to pick.

1) Trek F400, 2006 Edition.

Has SRAM dual drive rear derailleur. I have no experience with that so have no clue how good it is. How is it positioned in SRAM hierarchy? I like the frame, which seems more sturdy than average folders.

2)Perfect-bikes SPORT XT folder. It is a small german company, making custom bikes. The link is in german, but you can see the pic and by clicking on SPORT XT also the specs.

It has very good gears- Shimano Deore XT, which make them a favourite in my list. Yet, as the company is small I cannot find any reviews and should probably order on the internet.

3)Dahon MU P24

Is it really a 24-speed folder? Cannot find any info on the front derailleur. I am also not so sure about its quality, when compared with the first two.
