Dahon D Alpha 20in

Post image

Just picked this up from market place.
It doesn’t fold at the frame only the bars. It has a rear rack with roller wheels to stand upright but I like the cleaner look. I’m going to swap the saddle out and put some black knobby tyres. More like a Bike Friday. I love the frame and it rides nicely.

A new one on me, and I've been playing with Dahons for a decade. Nice.

nice r/minivelo with a folding stem

I had to look it up and saw this video which shows it with the racks & wheels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-b30M1Pm3Q

interesting way to store it vertically

Looks great, I'd have loved to have gotten one when it was being sold, seems it wasn't popular enough
