I'm starting to lean that way also.. been riding the Dahon Mu Uno quite a bit .. singlespeed .. coaster brake .. 1 cable (front brake). excellent bike .. especially in and around town... currently the first bike I grab for a quick spin of 10 miles or under .. a very minimalist bike that delivers... As to a Sturmey, I still ride my first purchased bike, a 1962 26" Western Flyer 3spd, coaster brake, roadster (Made in England).. 47 years later, the 3spd Sturmey still works perfectly, with just oiling for maintenance ..
