Design Idea: Dahon Hammerhead & Smooth Hound

Dahon is the world's largest manufacturer of folding bicycles. Their minibikes are awesome! Of course, I'm showing my obvious bias for 20" wheeled minivelos. The frame of the Smooth Hound/ Hammerhead is what I think I'll use as a basis for the bike I'm getting made.

Dahon's '08 models adds break-away capabilities to thier minibikes - that means the frames break apart and can be put inside regular-sized luggage.



These bikes are light and look good. I just wish they were as readily available in the Philippines as they are in other countries. In the UK, these bikes are on sale at Wistanley's bikes. The 06 flat-bar Hammerhead goes for as low as £199 - reduced from £479.
