Hi Carl,

I purchased a pair of Dahon folding bikes in 2003 and they are excellent.
The frame is aluminum with 20" wheels and the fold / unfold operation is
simple and fast.  The all up weight is 24lbs each.  The down side is that
they cost a lot, over $400 US, and that  was when the dollar was actually
worth something with lower commodity prices.

The new style has a different frame and comes in at 22 lbs.  Take a look at
http://www.dahon.com/us/muuno.htm  I have do idea at the cost.

I have an XS and the two bikes will fit in laying down,  I am fairly certain
that you could fit one bike standing up in a classic baggage bay.

Paul
