I must disagree with the last part. Dahon post sale support is very poor. Try for example to find a replacement left twist shifter for the MuP24 (I tried). It is a made for Dahon DualDrive twist shifter that Dahon installs on new bikes but would not sell as spare parts. When I contacted Dahon US, they could not care less about customer satisfaction.

With BF you just call them and somebody will pick the part from the production lines and will mail it to you.

To the original poster, the 'you get what you pay for' rule works here as well. Since you did not mention your budget, it is possible that MuP24 is the right choice for you. It's a decent bike with a wide gear range.
