Dahon Curve folding bike

A recent review for the Dahon Curve folding bike with 50-305 slick
tyres:
http://www.foldsoc.co.uk/
The author is probably Mike Hessey as he mentions his Smart car.

I've been looking for a test ride without success for some weeks now,
but actually after reading the article I'm tempted to order one blind.
But then I'm confused by the specifications for the size when folded.
According to the international web pages www.dahon.com it is 34 x 60 x
65 cm^3 (slightly larger than a Brompton) while the German pages
www.dahon-faltrad.de give 87 x 67 x 35 cm^3 which would be too large
for my needs. The latter figures do show up in the printed brochure at
my LBS also. The article in the folding society mentions 34 x 60 x 65
cm^3 and 74 x 36 x 60 cm^3 for the shipping box. So can anybody confirm
that the 87cm are a typo? This would be too large for my trailer box
which has 75 x 55 cm^2 in the interior.

Gunther,

There is a full review of the Dahon Curve SL in the latest A to B magazine.

The folded size that they give is 67.5cm tall x 76.5cm long x 34cm wide
with a volume of 176 litres.

If you want me to send you the full article send me a pm ( remove
obvious from address ).

Thanks, that is a bit longer than what dahon.com says, but still smaller
than the figure from the German pages.
