  1. I notice that Dahon has dramatically improved the quality of their folding bikes. My dad bought a Dahon Speed P8 and it rides fast and smooth.

  2. Where can I purchase the 2018 Dahon Espresso D24? I can’t find an on-line retail link, not on Amazon, not at the Dahon headquarters . . . ?

    Same thing for the 2018 Jack 7–where buy?
