Touring on a Dahon MU P27 Folder

[Cycleops]

I've been thinking of buying a Dahon (model not completely decided) to replace my runabout mtb. This so I can put it in the car and on trains more easily. Tried out a Dahon D7 and a Brompton a while back. The Brompton won on ease of folding and the Dahon on ease and pleasure of riding, hence the buying intention.

I'll be reading your accounts with great interest.

I recently got rid of a folding MTB with 24" wheels. My brother in law's friend brought a container full of bikes from South Korea for a $1 each and this was in there. I will try and post a picture.

Interesting post.

I look forward to updates.

I have a Dahon Speed Pro but definitely won't go far from home on that - too delicate and it must be said not as well built as it could be.

But I have the impression that cheaper Dahons may actually be more solid.

Am planning a short trip on the Brompton soon - currently checking bags. I definitely trust the bomb-proof Brommie not to leave me stranded - it has been (unloaded) up Sardinian mountains and whizzed along unmade roads outpacing dogs.

I've done a weekend on a Brommie, and I've got a week of Bromptonising Provence coming up. I shall report back...
