Yes the Allen Sports bikes are cheaper than equivalent single-speed bikes of Dahon. I contacted NYCeWheels but they don’t plan to carry the bikes anytime soon. The Allen Sports bikes are available on Amazon only, I got mine there and you can always return it if there is any issue.

Although MSRP for both of these bikes is equivalent to the Dahon Speed and Mu Unos, the real-world price at Amazon tends to be much lower than the MSRP or the real-world retail price of the two similar Dahon bikes. I don’t see any of my local (NYC) bike shops carrying the Allen Sports folders which is too bad because I prefer to buy from local bike shops rather than online.
