Question about switching bikes
Hi,
I have a pretty nice 2006 Dahon Speed P8, but as a touring musician, this bike is kind of a hassle to lug around and pack/unpack (I'm typically on the road 8 months at a time, bus & plane...). I'm considering switching to a BF Tikit, but I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about this... do I 1) put the P8 up on ebay (what on earth would the shipping be like for a 20" folder? :-/ ) or 2) is there a way to possibly trade (plus $, of course)?
Thanks for any and all thoughts!

p.s. or I may wait around for the Curl that I've read about here... thoughts on that?
