It wasn't a bad deal at $100 but I had to fix a broken spoke, mis-routed cables, and a jammed gear cable. I also bought a new front wheel (and a couple cheap tires) before I succeeded repairing the existing wheel. It was somewhat useful hauling the Dahon as a ride from the car repair site(s) to my office. Several of my other full size bikes work even better. My wife and daughter refused adopt the folder. I also missed clamping the front steering post on the last ride and ending up following it to the pavement when it folded while starting off from a stop.
