Except for Dahon Dash, most if not all foldies are one size fits all. Variations and suitability is just adjusting the front handlebar height (some newbies rides like using monkey bar  biggrin.gif ) , adjusting the height of the seat post (foldies seat post are extra long, most of them 600mm long and bigger diameter for strength). Foldies are not meant for stability, therefore the base length is not long. For bicycles, the longer the wheel base the more stable the ride. But foldies is good for 40km/h or so though. The problem with foldies is the maximum weight limitations. Most of them are limited to han dle105 kilos rider, except the new Dahon Curl which is rated 130 kilos maximum. Then again, this is the guaranteed limits and usually the manufacturer under rate their limits for safety factors. Not that you going to downhill with the foldie anyway.

Finally after a long wait,my fnhon has arrived, choosing maximum portability i opt for the smaller 16 inch, standby a dimpa bag, it fits like gloves. ride stiffness is excellent, small n nimble bike.
I choose the silver chrome color which is very eyes catching, i need to ride it for some times before i can judge what is the comfortable speed it can traverse in a day.
I have got plan to bring it to overseas with me..if this works i will skip a brompton.
