Choice of 2 used Dahons

[Alembicbassman]

I've located a couple of local Dahons

Impulse 7 (nearly new)

Vitesse D7HG (2 years old)

What sort of price would I be looking at for them and which would you choose?

I thought about offering £200 for the Vitesse D7HG. It's in good condition, but would probably need a service (would do this myself). Has cup and cone BB which I found a little surprising.

The Impulse 7 has a Cr-Mo frame and standard derailleur the D7HG has a Nexus hub and aluminium frame.

Not sure what would be a fair price for the Impulse.

The Impulse is the older bike as Dahon have not sold bikes using that frame design in a while (at least, not under their own brand). The last model to use the Re Bar frame is 2008 http://www.dahon.com/bikes/2008/impulse-d7

Having followed EBay auctions on a whole range of Dahons it surprises me that D models up to 5 years old still fetch between £150 -200. Worth it if it really is nearly new in condition. This vid shows off the ruggedness of the older frame design nicely!
