Sale Dahon Speed D7 Folding Bike, Baltic
Product Description
Riding a bike has never been this fun. The Speed combines sporty performance with unbelievable value. The frame is hand-welded from custom-drawn 4130 chromoly Sonus tubing and incorporates six different patented technologies, resulting in what is probably our stiffest frame. It features the Dahon Neos rear derailleur, a revolutionary new design that has an ultra short cage for improved ground clearance and super fast shifting. We've paired the Neos with an 11-30T cassette, which, when compared with the previous 14-28T freewheel, represents a 37% increase in gear range. Sleek, simple and excellent value - just what most people want in a folding bike.

Fast delivery, good quality, one minor defect
By H. C. Nguyen
Delivery: the package comes in about one week, which exceeds my expectation. Everything is well-packaged.
The bike: it's pre-assembled, mostly. And very easy to do the rest. I don't need the manual to complete the bike, except for the magnetic latch that hold to folded frame together (actually it only needs a strong yank to unlock the latch). The complete bike loooks exactly like the one on the image.
The ride: This is my first 20" bicycle. First this thing is much nimbler and faster than my 26" cruiser bike I am using. The smaller wheel still gives a smooth ride, surprisingly. The brake is responsive. The saddle is OK for a one-hour-ride, but for longer ride, it feels uncomfortable.
The only minor defect is the fifth, sixth and sometimes the seventh gear keeps slipping to the lower gear.
The folding: it takes me about 10 seconds to fold this thing, probably because I am still new at it.
In general this is a good buy, and I recommend it.

Fits in the trunk
By B. Zagaeski
I've had a Dahon Speed D7 for about half a year. It works nicely. I use it all the time for most travel and errands (the included back rack is quite helpful). The folding mechanism and the latches feel solid and haven't given me any trouble. I was surprised by how stable the bike felt when I first rode it (I'd recommend trying it for yourself, of course).
A few concerns:
- For me, the whole range of gear ratios could be shifted lower. The lowest gear could be even lower, and I don't know if I've ever used the top gear.
- It's nice that the included pedals fold down, but they are dangerously slippery in the rain, or when the bottoms of my shoes are wet.
- There's a bit of front-back flex in the handlebars/head tube. It usually doesn't bother me, but I try not to pull or push hard along that front-back direction.
- The handlebar grip next to the grip-shifter gets gradually pushed off as I ride and shift gears.
- The clearance between the pedals and the ground is small, so the inner pedal must be raised during sharp turns.
--Addition (August 30, 2010)--
- A couple of times one of the long cables to the rear derailleur or brake has caught on a pedal, hard. I tied the cables down at another point along the frame, and haven't had trouble since.
- Maybe I've just misadjusted something, but the chain has dropped off the front chain ring several times during forceful pedaling. Perhaps eventually I'll try a smaller front chain ring, both to lower the gear ratios and to reduce the strain on the chain at lower gears.
- I took the bike on the commuter rail. It wasn't too bad. I wasn't traveling during rush hour, so I just put the bike on the seat next to me in its carry bag. Carrying it through the narrow space between seats was a little awkward, but if I had given myself ample time to get to and from my seat, it probably wouldn't have been as much of a problem.

Big little bike fits into small places.
By Marjorie L. White
My new Dahon folding bicycle was one of my most practical purchases to date. I get to sit up, get daily exercise and enjoy the view. Lightweight yet tough and sturdy to ride. When folded I can easily lift it's 20 pounds and place it in my small Honda Hybrid trunk and I'm an old lady of seventy seven.
