I am new here -- please do not peck (too hard). I'm considering buying a folding bike. So far I saw
a 3-speed $400 Brompton and a 5 or 6-speed $299 Dahon. I can handle both, as far as the weight is
concerned (although I was told that Brompton is lighter). What group's consensus would be? Are there
any other brands/models to be considered as an inexpensive first? I plan to fold the bike for subway
and bus transportation and I think (now) that slight difference in weight should not matter much --
I am not going to carry them for miles. Any suggestions from grandmasters/professionals are greatly
appreciated.
