Pretty sure the OP stated he believed it was a rebadged Dahon.
I also didn’t claim anything other than I wouldn’t have another aluminium framed bike. As 66% of the ones I did have have cracked. And both of those were Dahons.
What I was asking is what you believe a ‘quality’ aluminium bike to be.
Where do you draw a line and say that one is and one isn’t? That’s all I was asking.
As far as I was aware at the time, when mine cracked, Dahon was in the process of suing Tern. Certainly Joshua Hon had already started Tern, and David Hon was in proceedings with them. Info was sketchy at the time and the UK distributor had stopped importing, so despite having two bikes - each worth £900 new, and both with lifetime frame warranties - I was left with no help.
As an aside, it’s also the reason I don’t use
Evans any more as they left me high and dry. I had my receipt, my contract was with them, they should have sorted it.
But I’m not bitter.
Like for like, Terns weren’t wildly different in pricing to Dahons, so I’m stuggling to work out how anyone would know what constitutes quality.
