Is this a real Dahon ?
I was looking for a low priced Dahon (or similar quality) folding bike on ebay and I came across THIS ONE that claims to be a dahon ...
I can't find it in the dahon website so I'm not sure if its a real one or a knock-off.

If it's real, then it's ancient.
Just lay down $300 or whatever for a Speed D7. Unless you want a single-speed, that's as cheap as the Dahons get.

Yep it is a Dahon Boardwalk single speed coaster. You used to be able to buy them at Camping World but I think they may be discontinuing them. They also had a 7spd.
