Fold is faster than Dahon for sure, and a big advantage is you do not have to re-set the saddle height or center the handlebars, you just unfold and go!
I agree the cro-mo softens up the ride vs the Joey's aluminum.
Had a major blowout yesterday, a friggin car key got impaled in my rear tire, right through the kevlar, and shredded the tube! I am now on the lookout for new 349 tubes, which in N Australia may be tough to find. I had understood it was common practive for Bike Friday to send a few spare tubes with every new bike purchase, but they did not do this for me!!
