Hi there,
Just got me a new shiny Dahon D8 Folding.
Loving it - however.................
Bit of a gibbon me, - long arms/body/reach and short legs, so with most bikes struggle to get the reach right without use of excessively long stems on smaller frame. So my Spesh road has 130mm stem on 54cm frame.
As with most folding bike the reach on the Dahon is compromised. I knew this when I got it - but needed a folding.
Just added Ergon GP3 Comfort grips which add a little to the reach on the bar ends, but now looking at whether there is a better addition with stem extensions or likewise without compromising the folding time too much
Thoughts/Observations welcomed.
Cheers
