Dahon Speed D7 Folding Bike

List Price: $299.99
Price: $543.00

Fast delivery, good quality, one minor defect
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. Fun bike, poor quality.
I've had this book for 8 months, and while the ride is fun and utilitarian (I commute with it for 4 miles a day), the bike is poorly made. After the first three months of riding, I had to tighten down structural screws and parts -- at least once a week. Now it turns out that my frame has somehow cracked and I have to replace it. I only use it for street commuting, so I'm not hard on it. Fortunately it's still under warranty, but . . . I should also mention the shifter mechanism is screwy. It always has to be 'nudged' toward another gear to keep it in the right place. Initially delighted, ultimately disappointed.

    Dahon Mariner FAQ

    Should I Try To Sell This "bike"?

    Today I Was Walking In A Creek Bed, And I Came Across A Dahon Mariner. It Is Not In The Best Shape, The Front Wheel Looks Too Small, The Rear Gear-shifting Mechanism Is Detached. The Chain Is... Dead,

    A couple things to consider based on it being in a creek bed:

    - It was probably stolen and dumped.
    - If it was in there long, all the moving parts probably to be disassembled and
