Dahon Cadenza Joe Murray Folding Bike (M), 26" wheels Touring spec., low gears

Dahon Cadenza Medium (18” frame size) folding, 26” wheel bike, with 24” lowest gear, Dahon CarryBag and other “Touring” accessories.     

Dahon Cadenza, folding aluminium 16” (M) frame, 26” wheel bike.  This upgraded Cadenza, with quality components, fits the bill as both a City bike and a Touring bike.  In great condition and with very low mileage.  (See below for detailed specification.)  

 The single catch folding mechanism is super quick and simple to use.  Included in the sale is a “Dahon el Bolso CarryBag”, made of heavy woven nylon fabric that assists in transporting the folding bike, plus a mini saddle bag.       

We wanted bikes that would be slick on the street and comfortable on our travels and we got it with these Dahon Cadenza bikes that we upgraded with mudguards, rear racks, bottle cage, bell, toe clips and lower gears.    (I have two bikes for sale, an 18” and 16”, so see my other ad. if you want the smaller size, or both bikes!)          

We would be happy to collect you from the nearest rail station which is a few miles from us and take you and the bike back there.       

 Our lifestyle changed just after we bought them and so the bikes (and the bags) are “hardly used”.  We anticipated using them for continental touring holidays combined with train travel where a folding bike usually ensures the bike can travel with you!      In 1982, Dr. David T. Hon, a renowned American aerospace expert and physicist, founded the company DAHON.  DAHON is known primarily for its innovative folding bicycles, which combine portability with performance, making them a popular choice among urban commuters and outdoor enthusiasts. The company has focused on creating lightweight, compact bikes that can be easily stored and transported.
