Internal geared folders
Internally geared reasonably priced folders, is there such an animal out there ? By reasonably priced I mean less than 700 dollars, by the searches I've done I've came up empty but maybe I'm missing something. Thanks for any new leads.

You're in the USA and those are American dollars, right?
Hmm.
Off the top of my head, Citizen Gotham, Citizen Alhambra, Jcat, Worksman
Used 3-speed Dahons available in most US markets.

...Or a standard folder with a new IGH wheel & Surly Singleator. Might get you close. A Dahon SUV D6 is cheap enough a wheel build might not put you over by much.
Edit: An Origami Cobra would definitely do it. Just run full length housing from the shifter to the hub.
Act fast! So far as I know Shimano discontinued the 8 speed coaster brake hub.
