BIKE FRIDAY NWT or DAHON JETSTREAM (again)
Hello ! It's Friday, and I am thinking of buying one, I mean a BF, or should I go for a Dahon again?
I owned & sold two Dahons already : JETSTREAM P8 (2004) & VITESSE D7.
Both bikes weren't bad, but they never convinced me either. The assambling quality, riding comfort & stability (lack of it) have always been the main issues for me not "loving" them. And each time I rode them, I always thought, I should have bought something 'better'.
I sold both bikes in 2006, now I want to return to the folding bike scene again, but I can't seem to find the best deal for me.
I've been reading a lot lately, about Dahons, BF's, Brommie, Birdy etc. So now it' decision time.
So, this is the bike I want :
What kind of folder do I prefer ?
- SPORTY, not too heavy and 'naked' (no racks, fenders etc)
What's it for?
-RECREATIONAL, TOURING, FITNESS & no off road
Folding ?
- YES, but it doesn't need to fold in 10 seconds, I wont commute on it, no trains, no busses, but it must fit in a trunk.
Quality
- HIGH, please !
Knowing this, you guys might have some answers for me. The bikes I'm leaning to are ; BIKE FRIDAY NWT, DAHON JETSTREAM P8 (if the overall quality has improved)
Of course, TEST-RIDING is the only way to find out, but that does not give me all the answers, esp. about the quality-aspect.
Thanks !
